PRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 18, 2024 ~ According to a recent analysis by Climate Central, more than 2 billion people worldwide experienced dangerously high temperatures between June and August. This includes over 1 billion residents in 72 countries who faced their hottest summer months since at least 1970.
The study found that these extreme temperatures were made at least three times more likely by climate change. This poses a significant risk to public health, especially for vulnerable populations. Andrew Pershing, vice president for science at Climate Central, stated, "High temperatures that were clearly influenced by climate change jeopardized the health of billions around the world during the past three months."
The analysis used Climate Central's Climate Shift Index to quantify the impact of climate change on temperatures in over 200 countries, all global regions, and nearly 1,000 cities. It also included estimates of people exposed to these heat waves in countries and regions.

The report highlights the local impacts of these trends and how states and cities are facing an increasing number of dangerous heat days. "No region, country, or city is safe from the deadly threats posed by burning fossil fuels," Pershing warned.
The data and methodology used in this analysis are available for download on the Climate Central website. The report also summarizes key findings and provides further information on the impact of climate change on global temperatures during June-August 2024.
As the effects of climate change continue to worsen, it is crucial for governments and individuals to take action to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate its impact on public health. The findings from this analysis serve as a stark reminder of the urgent need for action against climate change.
