At least 1,147 died from climate-driven heat in UK this summer, scientists find
The UK saw its hottest summer on record this year, with experts saying extreme heat incidents were made more likely and intense by human-induced global warming.
A study led by researchers at Imperial College London, released on Wednesday, used modelling, historical mortality records and peer-reviewed methods to provide early estimates of fatalities this summer.
The team found climate change, caused primarily by the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, increased temperatures by an average of 2.2C, but by as much as 3.6C between June and August.
As one of the comments points out, this brand of 'science' has degenerated into clickbait.
We could ask what was on the 1,147 death certificates but we won't, white coat clickbait isn't worth it.

Where to start with this nonsense?
Actually, better not to start at all - it only encourages them.
