By Kenny Stancil
Roughly 74 million lives could be saved this century if the emission of heat-trapping gases is cut to zero by 2050, compared with a far more lethal scenario in which society fails to limit global temperature rise to less than 4°C. That’s according to Daniel Bressler, a Ph.D. candidate at Columbia University’s Earth Institute whose peer-reviewed journal article, “The Mortality Cost of Carbon,” was just published in Nature Communications.
