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.

55C is not 121F, as the article states; it’s 131F.
What global warming? We are fortunate not to be descending into another ice age.
Humanity, like so many other living beings on this planet, are highly adaptable creatures, and chances are, most of them, or at least a decent-sized contingent, will make it through just about any variations that may be visited upon this earth.
Bananas in Labrador still sounds like a good idea.
Too bad we can’t get it to wipe out much of the west coast.
(However, if I buy an SUV, that won't have anything to do with it.)
Be wary of any weather data emerging from the vortex of global warming ideology.
“Scientists have previously warned that the planet could heat up by 4°C (39°F) by 2100. “
There’s absolutely no scientific evidence that this will happen.
For the last 150 years we’ve only warmed 0.8C.
Just nature’s way of culling white people. What’s the problem?
Today in Central Texas, we will have our 36th day over 100 this summer. On the bright side, we won’t come anywhere close to the hellish summer of 2011 which set the record of 90 days over 100. That heat wave culminated on Labor Day weekend with the largest wildfire in TX history, burning 1,670 homes.
Only on the east coast? How selective.
Scotsmen turning into Irishmen...
No need to read any further.
When they tell you the weather, they'll occasionally mention models. They'll say some models this, some models that.
These are the same models that ALL agree on gorebull warming.
If frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their asses on the ground when they jump
Yes, this 68° heatwave I’m having is so oppressive.
I’m dying in my own basting juices.
I guess that Nature hates the East Coast for some reason.
Notice how the only people that count live on the coasts?
If they said everyone in flyover was gonna die there would be no problem, just loads of progressive joy.
The Sun, it gets closer...
Will their predicted deadly man made heatwaves be as bad as the one’s that took place in the 1930’s that killed thousands?
These people wake up and lie as easy as they breath.
Been cold enough here that my summer produce isn’t ripening.
I’d suggest some of those “deadly heat waves” have already passed over the east coast. There are a lot of “fried brains” there already to keep promoting such crap.
