Climate change has already increased global temperatures, greatly increasing extremes. This will continue unless greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to “net-zero”. The 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement requires emissions reductions of around 50% in the next 10 years.
Newborn babies are particularly vulnerable to high temperatures. They have a limited ability to thermoregulate – or control their body temperature – and can easily become dangerously hot or cold.
Older babies and toddlers can thermoregulate better. But they are often unable to communicate their temperature discomfort. They rely on caregivers to help them adjust clothing and change their environment – like opening a window or seeking shade.
Africa has some of the poorest and hottest countries in the world. This means that young African children are at particular risk of heat stress impacts.
There has been little research into the impact of climate change on child heat-related deaths in any region of the world.
To address this knowledge gap, we estimated present day and future heat-related mortality due to climate change in African children under five years. We did this using a range of different global heating scenarios and information from a small number of existing studies relating temperatures to heat-related child deaths in Africa.
Climate change accounts for approximately half of these deaths. The additional deaths due to climate change cancel out the recent reduction in heat-related deaths that was achieved through developmental improvements.
Our research underscores the urgent need to reduce emissions and take adaptation measures to reduce the impact of heat on babies and children.

The late comedian Sam Kinison said instead of send these people food we should be sending the suitcases so they can LEAVE.
Seriously, it’s hot along the equator or in the jungles of Africa, people have been living there since the dawn of man, I think they will be okay regardless of climate change.
Quick! Run around in circles!
The warlords will take care of the rest. It’s time to give billions to…well someone so we can say we fixed this. 🤣🤣🤣
A lot more will die from malaria, but you weren’t too concerned about that when you banned DDT.
Largely fiction. Just two facts of many here: The climate change models predict very little warming in the tropics. Most change predicted to occur in polar regions. Two: What little natural warming has been recorded is found in the daily lows being slightly less low. Extreme heat at the daily highs is unrelated to climate change and there is no discernible trend.
See how they lie to you with such nonchalance, and how easy it is for true believers to suck it down.
Climate change will cause more African children to die from
Communism.
In all fairness, children died from communism in northern climes, too. Communism, reluctant parents’ best friend.
Why? They do not go outside and play any longer!
Why? They do not go outside and play any longer!
Ugh the BS is relentless now.
Wait ... I thought these AGW freaks thought humans were a problem just for being here?
If these LIARS truly cared about the poor in Africa they would not have PROHIBITED INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS!!!
These greedy EUGENICISTS don't want the native Africans competing for their own natural resources!
Reference the policy signed by President Ford in 1974l
This is some good Babylon Bee material right here.
Wow... they are really getting desperate now.
So much of the logical fallacy called “begging the question” in just the first two sentences.
as soon as dates are assigned to the end of the world, my first thought is jimmy carter in 1976 saying “we’ll have no oil by 2011 and that we need to concentrate on coal production and coal burning.”
Does that include the ones shooting up Chicago, New York, Philthadelphia, Atlanta, and Los Angeles?
Cue the sweating Pygmy charity ads.
