Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2007 The year 2000 saw 150 000 people die as a result of climate change. This is a conservative World Health Organization estimate of excess mortality resulting from the relatively mild 0.8°C global warming experienced over the past century. As the average global temperature continues to climb by a projected 1.4°C–5.8°C over the next century, the annual ...
