Dr Robertson said there's some evidence suicidal ideation increases with heat: "Research looking at Mexico and USA has shown that going up to 2050, if we are continuing on the current course of climate change, there will be between 9,000 and 40,000 extra deaths by suicide in those countri...
The summer heatwave of 2018 was the longest heatwave in the UK in recent years and scientists connected it to global climate change and heatwaves noted internationally. As one of the few existing studies looking at if and how the media make the link between extreme weather phenomena and ...
Temperatures have soaredover much of Europe over the last month, regularlyexceeding 30°Candseveral temperature records have been broken. The conditions have been so extreme that wildfires have broken out in Sweden and the UK. Heatwaves are one of the most likely consequences of climate chang...
The Local Government Association (LGA) said adapting to climate change will be "as important as reducing carbon emissions, as the current heatwave demonstrates". The government's National Adaptation Programme, due next year, should "fully empower councils" to play their role in...

“It will certainly have left its mark on a number of countries, as to how they think and plan for climate change in the future, much as the 2000 floods have revolutionised the way the Government is thinking about flooding in the UK. The 2003 heatwave will have similar repercussions across...
A severe heatwave has been attributed to man-made climate change – and for the first time we can also identify the countries whose emissions are most responsible. Friederike Otto of the University of Oxford, UK and her colleagues studied a heatwave that
Frequent heatwaves under global warming can increase the risk of preterm birth (PTB), which in turn will affect physical health and human potential over the life course. However, what remains unknown is the extent to which anthropogenic climate change ha
But dealing with the heat is something we could all have to become used to dealing with. Without action on climate change Prof Lizzie Kendon said the hottest UK summer day could increase by 6C under a high-emission scenario: "That's a huge increase by the end of the century."...
