Global warming has saved 500,000 lives in England and Wales in the last 20 years


"Over a 20-year period the estimated change in deaths associated with warm or cold temperature was a net decrease of 555,103, an average of 27,755 deaths per year (Table 1). A decrease in deaths from outcomes associated with cold temperature greatly outnumbers deaths associated with warm temperature."
~ UK Office of National Statistics (ONS) from their report 'Climate-related mortality and hospital admissions, England and Wales: 2001 to 2020'
