If you just want the key message without clicking the link:<p>&quot;The researchers estimated an extra 8,000 people would die each year as a result of “suboptimal temperatures” even under the most optimistic scenario for cutting planet-heating pollution. The hottest plausible scenario they considered showed a net increase of 80,000 temperature-related deaths a year.&quot;<p>It&#x27;s easy to feel glib about &#x27;some number of people dying from changes to the climate&#x27; until it impacts you and your family. Even something like flu deaths always felt a bit distant to me, until I lost and nearly lost close family due to seasonal flu.
