Climate Change Could Kill Half a Million by 2050

Bloomberg: The impact of climate change on food supplies and diets may cause half a million more deaths in the next few decades, a University of Oxford study showed. At least 500,000 extra people will probably die by 2050 from health effects related to warming temperatures and dietary changes, according to a study from the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Food published in U.K. medical journal The Lancet. Lower fruit and vegetable consumption and changes in body weight may raise the risk of non-infectious...

Huffington Post: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sat down with aboriginal leaders Wednesday to discuss a role for First Nations in the fight against climate change.

Will biggest danger from global warming be the change in diets?

New Scientist: Global warming will make it harder for people to eat more fruit and vegetables, leading to 500,000 deaths in 2050 that would otherwise have been avoided, according to a modelling study. That means the biggest health impact of climate change in the short term could result from its effect on how much fruit and vegetables we eat, rather than from heat waves, starvations or the spread of tropical diseases. Can this possibly be true? Well, maybe, but such findings come with many caveats. Studying how...

Climate change: Global warming fruit and veg shortage could lead to 1,200 extra UK deaths a year by 2050
2016-03-03 00:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: Climate change could lead to more than 1,200 extra deaths a year in the UK by 2050 as global warming causes fruit and vegetable shortages, new research suggests. The typical British diet will deteriorate as the effects of climate change hit crop production, resulting in supply shortages and pushing up prices, Oxford University researchers said. This will increase the number of deaths for which poor diet is a risk factor - more than offsetting a reduction in deaths from obesity that may be seen...
