Cambio climático: países de Latinoamérica registran alza de 140% en muertes por el calor

El calentamiento global va dejando muy malas noticias para América Latina y el Caribe. Un informe especializado detectó que en Latinoamérica se elevaron un 140% las muertes por los efectos del calor que deja el cambio climático. El texto analiza lo ocurrido en 2022 y expone las graves consecuencias con cifras. La revisión detalla que hace dos años las personas estuvieron expuesta a temperaturas ambientales un 0,38° Celsius más altas que entre 1986 y 2005. Los países que registraron un mayor incremento fueron Paraguay con 1,9°C y Argentina que vio 1,2°C.

Las estadísticas del estudio exponen que los habitantes de Latinoamérica enfrentaron una mortalidad aumentada 140% al comparar los periodos entre 2000-2009 y 2013-2022. Las cuatro naciones que vieron mayores alzas de muertes por calor fueron Ecuador (339%), El Salvador (230%), Honduras (204%) y Guatemala (202%). El informe difundido por The Lancet Countdown da cuenta que los niños y los mayores de 65 años se vieron expuestos, respectivamente, a 248% y 271% más de días con altas temperaturas entre 2013 y 2022, en comparación con las cifras del período 1986-2005.

El País informa que el texto analiza los datos de 34 indicadores para ver la relación entre el cambio climático y la salud en los países de América Latina y el Caribe. La medición sobre Latinoamérica llega cuando el programa Copernicus advirtió que en Europa la mortalidad relacionada con el calor aumentó cerca de un 30% en las últimas dos décadas. Eso expone un alza menor en un continente con países con mayores recursos para enfrentar el calentamiento global.

La doctora peruana Stella Hartinger comentó que “no todos vamos a enfrentar el cambio climático igual”, para luego puntualizar que es la segunda vez que se hace este informe para América Latina y el Caribe. La experta agregó que “continuamos viendo que los impactos del cambio climático en la salud continúan. Los temas de calor, eventos extremos, seguridad alimentaria y vulnerabilidad climática siguen en aumento”.
