"Elderly populations could be ten times more at risk of being exposed to a heat wave in 2090 than they are now if climate change isn’t abated, according to a new report...
...The world’s elderly population is projected to rise over the next several decades — a concerning trend when coupled with climate change projections, since the elderly are among the most vulnerable to climate change impacts. A September 2003 heatwave in France claimed nearly 15,000 lives — most of them elderly. Elderly people, especially if they live alone, may not be able to move to cooler locations during heat waves, and those suffering from dementia or mental illness may not be able to properly care for themselves...
...The report isn’t the only one to warn about increased exposure to extreme weather events as climate change progresses. Already, the U.S. has had to struggle with a variety of costly extreme weather events: in 2011, the U.S. experienced 14 extreme weather events that caused more than $1 billion in damage, and in 2012, the country experienced 12 such events. Scientists predict that heat waves, droughts, and extreme rainfall and flooding will all become more frequent and more intense as the earth warms. "
