Phys.Org: Hundreds of deaths in two cities in 2003 heatwave due to man-made climate change: study Scientists have specified how many deaths can be attributed to man-made climate change during an extreme heatwave in two European cities in 2003. They calculate that in Paris, the hottest city in Europe during the heatwave in summer 2003, 506 out of 735 summer deaths recorded in the French capital were due to a heatwave made worse by man-made climate change. The impact of climate change was less severe in London,...

Coal Dust Causes 23,000 Premature Deaths In The EU
2016-07-06 03:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: Coal dust is responsible for about 22,900 premature deaths per year in the E.U., according to a report released Tuesday. This report is the first analysis to show how coal dust travels, damaging the health in countries hundreds of kilometers away. In addition to premature deaths, coal plants were responsible for 11,800 new cases of chronic bronchitis and 21,900 hospital admissions in 2013. The premature deaths were linked to three main pollutants: particulate matter, ground-level ozone, and...

Guardian: Vietnams government has said toxic discharges from a Taiwanese-owned steel plant were responsible for massive fish deaths that have decimated tourism and fishing in four provinces and highlighted the risks of rapid growth in foreign investment. An estimated 70 tonnes of dead fish washed ashore along more than 200 km (125 miles) of Vietnams central coastline in early April, sparking rare protests across the country after the Taiwanese company denied any wrongdoing. A government minister, Mai...
2 ways to limit the number of heat-related deaths from climate change
2016-06-28 18:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: By the 2080s, as many as 3,331 people could die every year from exposure to heat during the summer months in New York City. The high estimate by Columbia University scientists is based on a new model--the first to account for variability in future population size, greenhouse gas trajectories, and the extent to which residents adapt to heat through interventions like air conditioning and public cooling centers. Results appear online in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. Researchers...
