New Study Finds The Post-1980s Warming Trend Has Improved European Life Expectancy
By Kenneth Richard on 17. March 2025
“The last four decades of global warming have led to a net gain in life expectancy.” – Piotr Walkowiak et al., 2025
Throughout Europe, exposure to harsh winters in colder climates is a greater mortality threat than living in warm climates with very hot summers. Succinctly put, warmer, milder winters save lives, whereas cold weather and harsh winters shorten lives.
The authors of a new study insist modern emphasis on limiting global warming so as to reduce heat-related mortality is misplaced, as it neglects the much more dangerous threat posed by cold weather.
“The primary climate threat that reduces life expectancy in Europe continues to be low temperatures.”
“…the dominant threat remains low-temperature mortality, which should no longer be neglected in the analysis of climate risk.”
