Anthropogenic climate change and heat effects on health

April 2019
Nikolaos Christidis, Dann Mitchell, Peter A. Stott
Royal Meteorology Society
Two new indices are introduced here that measure the effect of anthropogenic climate change on the intensity and frequency of health‐relevant heat extremes.Read More →

Climate variation drives dengue dynamics

December 2016
Lei Xu, Leif C. Stige, Kung-Sik Chan, Jie Zhou, Jun Yang, Shaowei Sang, Ming Wang, Zhicong Yang, Ziqiang Yan, Tong Jiang, Liang Lu, Yujuan Yue, Xiaobo Liu, Hualiang Lin, Jianguo Xu, Qiyong Liu, and Nils Stenseth
Proceedings of the National Academies of the Sciences
This peer-reviewed study uses temperature, precipitation, and disease incidence data to demonstrate that the disease dengue is becoming more prevalent as rising temperatures and increased precipitation increase the population of mosquitos in China.Read More →

Attributing Human Mortality during Extreme Heat Waves to Anthropogenic Climate Change

July 2016
Daniel Mitchell, Clare Heaviside, Sotiris Vardoulakis, Chris Huntingford, Giacomo Masato, Benoit P. Guillod, Peter Frumhoff, Andy Bowery, David Wallom, and Myles Allen
Environmental Research Letters
This paper explicitly quantify the role of human activity on climate and heat-related mortality in an event attribution framework, analyzing both the Europe-wide temperature response in 2003, and localized responses over London and Paris.Read More →

Climate Change Effects on Heat- and Cold-Related Mortality in the Netherlands: A Scenario-Based Integrated Environmental Health Impact Assessment

October 2015
Maud M. T. E. Huynen, Pim Martens
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
This article explores the impacts of climate change on heat and cold-related mortality, illustrating that model outcomes are not only highly dependent on climate scenarios, but also on adaptation assumptions. Read More →
