Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 EACH DEGREE OF GLOBAL WARMING LINKED TO 20,000 DEATHS A YEAR STANFORD, California, January 3, 2008 (ENS) - For each increase of one degree Celsius in the global temperature caused by carbon dioxide emissions, the resulting air pollution would lead annually to about 1,000 additional deaths and many more cases of respiratory illness and asthma across the United States, finds new Stanford University research released today. Worldwide, upward of 20,000 air pollution related deaths per year per degree Celsius may be due to heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions. http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/jan2008/2008-01-03-03.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
