Rising heat kills one person a minute worldwide, major report reveals

omg u guys its literally mind blown that 1 death occurs every minute due to climate change i mean i know we've been talking about this for years but it feels like the world is still not taking it seriously governments are still giving out billions of dollars in subsidies to fossil fuel companies while people are dying because of high temps its so unfair and the numbers are crazy 639 billion hours of lost labor in 2024 thats like a whole lot of missed birthdays lol anyways i think its great that local communities and authorities are taking action theyre doing stuff like clean energy projects and city adaptations which is cool but we need world leaders to step up their game too i mean come on people we cant keep relying on fossil fuels if we want to survive

I'm still reeling from the latest climate change report . I mean, one death every minute? That's just mind-boggling. I've been following this story for years, and it's getting worse by the day. The fact that our governments are giving out billions in subsidies to fossil fuel companies while people are dying due to heat-related illnesses is just sickening .

And have you seen the stats on lost labor hours? 639 billion hours in 2024 alone? That's like the entire workforce of a country being grounded for an entire year. It's not just economic losses; it's human lives lost because of our addiction to fossil fuels.

I'm glad to see some local communities and authorities taking action, but we need world leaders to step up and take notice. We can't keep ignoring this issue. Clean energy is the future, and we need to transition ASAP . It's not just about saving lives; it's about preserving our planet for future generations

I'm so worried about our planet! Every minute, someone is dying from the heat. It's crazy that governments are still giving out billions of dollars in subsidies to fossil fuel companies while people can't even work due to extreme temperatures. It's like we're throwing money at a problem instead of solving it. I mean, $2.5 billion a day is insane! And have you seen the number of deaths from wildfires? 154,000 last year alone is heartbreaking. We need to make some real changes ASAP. Clean energy and city adaptation are key, but we also need world leaders to take notice and act on this. It's time for us to hold them accountable!

I'm really worried about the state of our planet . One death every minute due to rising heat is just devastating. It's like we're sleepwalking into a global health disaster, and governments are just too slow to react. $2.5 billion a day in subsidies to fossil fuel companies while people are losing hours of work because of the heat? That's just not right. We need to take drastic action to transition to clean energy ASAP. It's not just about the environmental impact, but also about the lives lost and livelihoods affected. I mean, 123 million more people facing food insecurity? That's a statistic that should haunt us all. Let's keep pushing for change, like Dr Romanello said

it's so crazy that 1 death every minute is being caused by the heat we're literally addicted to fossil fuels and it's killing us $2.5 billion a day for these polluters while people are losing hours of work due to extreme temperatures? it's just not right

and have you seen those numbers on wildfires and droughts? 154,000 deaths in 2024?! that's like, one person dying every minute because of climate change

but hey, there's hope! local communities are stepping up with clean energy solutions and city adaptation plans so let's keep the momentum going and make some real changes

OMG, 154k deaths from wildfires in 2024?? That's insane! I'm literally shaking thinking about all those people suffering. Can you imagine if we had a system where fossil fuels just stopped being subsidized by governments? It would be like a weight has been lifted off the planet's shoulders. And it's not just about the health impacts, it's also super economic. Like, who needs that kind of money going towards producing more pollution when we could be investing in clean energy?!
