Heat deaths up 36% since Paris Agreement, warns Lancet report

Average yearly heat-related deaths have risen nearly 36% worldwide since the Paris Agreement took effect, the 10th Lancet Countdown report says. Heat was linked to a record 710,000 deaths in 2023, over 70% attributable to human-caused climate change. Fossil fuels still supply over 80% of global energy, and their air pollution kills about 2.8 million people yearly.
