Thousands of heat deaths predicted as New York City heats up, scientists say By Sebastien Malo
NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - More than 3,000 New Yorkers could die each year from intense heat due to climate change beginning about 60 years from now, researchers said on Thursday.
The number of hot days is expected to triple by the year 2080 and beyond, causing death by heat exhaustion, dehydration or heart and respiratory conditions, said the main author of a study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
With so many hot days, when the temperature is at or above 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 Celsius), an estimated 3,331 people in New York City could die each year, the study found.
Elisaveta Petkova, the lead author, made a comparison to a heat wave in Europe in 2003 that claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people.
"If New York happens to experience something like this, which is more likely due to climate change, (with) more extreme heat events, the consequences can be devastating," she said.

I could swear, that Obama, reported that NYC would be under 10 feet of water....
By 2080, all of the people of NYC who could have died from overheating would be dead of natural causes or street thugs, so this is just another “fund me, perpetual job work” for a few leftist “scientists”.
How come they didn't publish this article in December? LOL! :)
Just think how many ill be dead in 60 years???
My beloved great grandmother grew up in NYC, BEFORE there was electricity...hence there weren't even any fans. She lived until I was 7!
Whoever writes this horse s^*t, are NUTS !
I’ll bet that sometime over the next 60 years, human beings will discover that they have the ability to move their bodies from an uncomfortable situation to a more comfortable situation.
OR we could invent some new fangled thingy that - like - somehow conditions the air...
Like an... air... conditioner? Maybe something like that.

I live in Sacramento, CA.
Notice something about that list of the hottest days ever?
If “global warming” is real and every recent year has been
declared as the “hottest year ever”, then why are all the
record temperature days for Sacramento in the 1900’s?
You would think that 16 years into the 2000’s at least one
or two of the record days would be in recent years, IF GLOBAL WARMING WERE REAL. It’s not.
