Tropical deforestation is associated with considerable heat-related mortality - Nature Climate Change
The authors assess the impacts of tropical deforestation and its subsequent local warming on human heat-related mortality. They estimate that deforestation-related warming (+0.27 °C) is associated wit...

3/ Deforestation-induced local warming can affect:
🌡️ Human health & wellbeing
🌾 Food production
💧 Water security
🐄 Livestock health
👷 Labour productivity
Implications are especially important for vulnerable communities across the #tropics
