In the last quarter of the 20th century, the average atmospheric temperature rose by about 1 degree Fahrenheit. “By 2000, that increase was responsible for the annual loss of about 160,000 lives and the loss of 5.5 million years of healthy life,” deplores the Geneva-based World Health Organization (WHO).

The toll is expected to double to about 300,000 lives and 11 million years of healthy life by 2020.
...According to the Oxfarm report (November 2007), the average number of natural disasters per year during the early 1980s was about 120. Now, the number has increased to nearly 500.
