University of Wisconsin Madison and World Health Organization studies link regional and global warming to rising deaths and illness. About 150000 people die annually and 5 million illness cases are attributed each year over 30 years. Governments can curb warming, with the United States as a leading contributor urged to act. The Nature online paper cites the 2003 European heat wave and urban heat islands as vivid examples.
