In the biggest study of its kind, a team of epidemiologists and climate scientists has determined that 37% of global heat-related deaths over the past 30 years can be attributed to human-induced climate change. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, used data from 1991 to 2018, taken from 732 locations in 43 countries around the world.
