FULL TITLE: Deadly 'super heatwaves' of 55°C will sweep across the US east coast, China, India, South America and Europe if global warming goes unchecked.
This summer, a heatwave nicknamed 'Lucifer' has swept across Europe, with temperatures reaching 44°C (111°F).
But a new study suggests that things could get much worse, with a bout of 'super-heatwaves' reaching 55°C (121°F) predicted to hit several areas if global temperatures rise by just 4°C (39°F).
Experts say that these heatwaves will be particularly humid, and could leave more people vulnerable to health risks, including sun stroke and hypothermia.
As a result, if global warming trends continue, many more people are expected to suffer sun strokes, especially in densely populated areas of India, China and the US.
Lead author Dr Giovanni Forzieri said: 'Climate change is one of the biggest global threats to human health of the 21st century.
'Its peril to society will be increasingly connected to weather-driven hazards.
To preserve the health and wellbeing of future generations of people in Europe, the researchers explain the need to address climate change by fulfilling the aims of the Paris Agreement to reduce climate change and increase resilience.

To the east coasters. I'm being sarcastic. Don't go into a tizzy.
He would be a low level producer at MSNBC.
Brought to us by the people who can’t tell us for sure that it’s going to rain tomorrow.
send your money to al gore and he’ll make sure to take care of it all.
Remember the 2003 European heatwave? The one that killed tens of thousands, mostly elderly, who died because they had no AC.
Nice continent. They’d rather cook their elders than cool them.
Wait a minute.....what happened to the rising oceans....weren’t we supposed to be up to our ankles in water by no?
After he takes care of his whopping electric bill.
One MILLION degrees. Gorebull worming. Heaty McHeatyumson.
“...with temperatures reaching 44°C (111°F).”
In my part of the country that is called summer.
If global temperatures rise 4C degrees it will be much hotter. Well, yes. Do people get paid for this kind of insight?
The difference between MAN and all other species is the ability to adapt. Humans live (and thrive) all over the planet earth (except for the two poles).
Even if the planet warms (or cools) mankind will continue.
Somebody please post the cartoon of the guy with the lit cigarette for a head screaming,
“THE STUPID!! IT BURNS!!!”
No big deal. Warmer temps mean longer growing seasons and higher yields. More supply equals less demand thus food prices decrease.
Global warming is a win-win.
Mass Hysteria!
No problem.
It means we’ll have longer growing seasons.
Good news for everyone’s garden!

What a bunch of nonsense. This is nothing but a transparent attempt to scare Americans into forcing the Trump Administration back into the Paris Agreement. They can all go to hell. Or just move to Philadelphia once it gets to 120 degrees. Same thing.
