Abstract: Previous research has examined temperature-related excess deaths or mortality risks. A study now uses years of life lost to provide a new measure of the impact of temperature on mortality, and finds an increase in the years of life lost for cold and hot temperatures. The loss will greatly increase further if future temperature rise goes beyond 2 °C above pre-industrial levels.
