In einer heißeren Welt altern Sie einige Menschen schneller, und die Forscher finden: «Die Exposition gegenüber Wärmewellen über zwei Jahre könnte bis zu 12 zusätzliche Tage mit altersbedingten Gesundheitsschäden führen. »

« Particular groups are more vulnerable to faster aging because of heat, the researchers found. If you’re an older person who has lived through many heat waves, you may age faster than a younger person who had the same exposure, Dr. Guo said. Other factors, such as living without air-conditioning or working outdoors, can also make your aging rate significantly worse. »

Does that mean that a typical 80-year life with heat waves every year would be shortened by one and a third years, or isn’t it that simple?
So after 60 years of exposure to heatwaves, you’ll have aged 61 years. Obviously not totally accurate as the strength of heat waves would have more of an impact, but this isn’t really too dramatic.
Hotter summers, irreversible ecological damage, feedback loops, floods and disasters, increased aging and stress, more deaths and war due to climate stress.
It’s all happening before our very eyes on a daily basis yet the US government rewrote a reporting saying increased CO2 levels are good for us.
