Wildfire Smoke: Deaths Could Surge Due to Climate Change

Imagine smoky air from fires getting much worse.

Scientists predict that by the end of this century, six times more people than today could die because of breathing in this smoke.

This increase is happening because the Earth is getting warmer, causing more fires.

The smoke contains tiny particles that can harm our lungs and heart.

Poor countries, especially in Africa, are expected to suffer the most.

To prevent this, we need to cut down on the gases that make the Earth warmer.
