This year’s powerful El Niño and the record global heat it’s driving, along with severe droughts, wildfires and shrinking water supplies, could lead to nearly half a million more deaths worldwide by the end of February, according to a new report. nbcnews.com/weather/heat/el-…

This year’s El Niño-driven heat could cause nearly half a million more deaths, group says

The Climate Impact Lab’s grim warning says the heaviest toll is expected in poorer countries already struggling with food insecurity and high energy costs, partly due to climate change.
