#Heat #inequality ‘causing thousands of unreported #deaths in #poor countries’
“Heatwaves are the deadliest type of extreme #weather but they don’t leave a trail of destruction or striking images of devastation. They kill poor, lonely people in rich countries, and poor people working outdoors in developing countries,” said Otto, who is also a senior lecturer in #climate science at the Grantham Institute of Imperial College #London. “In the last 13 months, there will be thousands and thousands of stories of poor people dying in heat that will never be told.”
