A research on the influence of climate change in life span throughout the world revealed stunning results. Temperature and precipitation data collected over 80 years from more than 190 countries show that climate change temperature increases, changing precipitation cycles, natural disasters and hot air waves as well as indirect deaths caused by factors such as mental health problems can be shortened to six months of human life. The researchers note that the average life period can be reduced up to six months in case of increased by two Fahrenheit temperatures. It is expressed that this condition will affect more especially women. In them, this time has been raised up to ten months.

The expectation of life dropped five months
[[T]]Amit Roy, a research officer from Shahjalal University and New Social Research School in the United States, "Global threat, created for the welfare of billions of people in the change of hope, used the expressions of the urgent necessity of addressing this as a public health crisis." Associate Professor Roy analyzed the average temperature, precipitation and life expectation data of 191 countries from 1940 to 2020. The specialist has created an index that combines temperature and precipitation cycles to measure the overall severity of climate change and is the first example of its kind. Roy said, "Results, two Fahrenheit ratings showed that global temperature rise, average human life expectancy will drop about five months and a week". The average life time around the world rises from 1960 to 2020 to 72 years. The period of life of men from 48 to 70, women were out of 52 to 74. Experts noted that this development observed in the duration of life is abundant and nutritious food, clean water, better hygiene and advanced medical care, as well as easy access to innovations in antibiotic and vaccines. However, increased life times according to data showed a decline in conjunction with coronavirus secretion.
