getting worse, says two recently published reports by the medical publication Lancet.</span> <span data-start-time='11979' data-end-time='20396'>The reports followed 44 health measures connected to climate change around the world. </span> <span data-start-time='20396' data-end-time='27104'>They include heat deaths, infectious disease and hunger.</span> <span data-start-time='27104' data-end-time='31875'>All of them are getting worse, said Marina Romanello. </span> <span data-start-time='31875' data-end-time='37771'>She is a research director of the Lancet Countdown project.</span> <span data-start-time='37771' data-end-time='53708'>With “the world on track to 2.4C of warming, the cost of inaction on climate and health will vastly outweigh the costs of acting now,” the report says.</span> <span data-start-time='53708' data-end-time='60813'>This year’s reports are called “code red for a healthy future.” </span> <span data-start-time='60813' data-end-time='67729'>One report is centered on the United States and one is centered on the entire world.</span> <span data-start-time='67729' data-end-time='72813'>The reports found some dangerous trends:</span> <span data-start-time='72813' data-end-time='82146'>At-risk populations like older people and the very young spent more time in extreme heat. </span> <span data-start-time='82146' data-end-time='96875'>For people over 65, the researchers found they were exposed to extreme heat at a higher rate than the average from 1986 to 2005.</span> <span data-start-time='96875' data-end-time='108250'>More people also lived in warm places where it is easier for some diseases, like cholera or dengue, to spread. </span> <span data-start-time='108250' data-end-time='121854'>Coastlines are warm enough for the dangerous Vibrio bacteria to grow in the Baltic areas of Europe and the Northeast and Pacific Northwest of the U.S. </span> <span data-start-time='121854' data-end-time='132417'>In some poorer nations, the season for malaria-spreading mosquitoes has gotten longer since the 1950s.</span> <span data-start-time='132417' data-end-time='141771'>The research also found that 72 percent of countries saw an increase in exposure to wildfires. </span> <span data-start-time='141771' data-end-time='151000'>And in 2020, up to 19 percent of the world’s land surface was affected by extreme drought</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button title='Back'
