Original: El Niño projected to cause 450k deaths in next six months
A new projection reported by the Guardian warns that the current El Niño could be linked to around 450,000 additional deaths worldwide over the next six months. The forecast points to extreme heat, drought, food insecurity and disease risks hitting vulnerable populations hardest, and is drawing attention to how climate change is amplifying the human cost of the weather pattern.
Why now: The scale of the projected death toll highlights the growing humanitarian impact of El Niño under a warming climate.
