Original: El Niño projected to cause 450k deaths in next six months
A projection reported by the Guardian estimates El Niño conditions could be linked to 450,000 extra deaths over the next six months. The figure points to the severe human cost of the climate pattern, which is associated with droughts, floods, disease outbreaks and food insecurity across affected regions. Commenters are reacting to the scale of the projected toll and what it says about global vulnerability to climate-driven weather events.
Why now: The projected death toll from El Niño is unusually large, drawing attention to the immediate human impact of the climate pattern.
