Climate change 'will increase the number of children born with potentially killer congenital heart defects'

    Researchers from the University of Albany, New York, made the predictions
    They said 7,000 cases could appear in a population of 110million over 11 years
    Across the global population this could affect more than 40,000 babies a year
    Experts warn mothers to avoid extreme heat during their babies' development

Global warming could mean more children are born with potentially deadly heart defects.

Being exposed to unusually high temperatures during pregnancy increases the chance of damage to the internal organs, scientists say.

Research predicts there could be 7,000 extra cases of heart defects between 2025 and 2035 in eight US states with a combined population of approximately 110million people.

Scaled up to the global population, this suggests climate change could contribute to around 40,000 congenital heart defects per year.

Quick, pregnant women, rush to Illinois and Michigan! It's pretty darn cold.

Ok, I’ll bite. What is defined as “extreme heat”?

Regardless, there shouldn’t be a problem, thanks to air conditioning.

If it weren’t so expensive, I’d say San Francisco. Mark Twain said “the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.”
