Tens of thousands additional deaths annually in cities of China between 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C warming

Heatwaves are expected to increase under climate change, and so are the associated deaths. Here the authors determine the regional high temperature thresholds for 27 metropolises in China and analyze the changes to heat-related mortality, showing that the additional global-warming temperature increa...
