EPIC’s Top 10 Charts of 2019

In 2019, countries around the world experienced yet another year of record hot temperatures. Against this now-familiar backdrop, the Climate Impact Lab and Tata Centre for Development released a report showing that there would be eight times more extremely hot days per year in India in 2100, causing an 11% increase above the current death rates from all causes. Heat-related deaths would be happening as often as deaths from all infectious diseases in India today under this continued high emissions path. A chart from the report was selected by the Energy Policy Institute of the University of Chicago as their top chart for 2019.
