Climate Change Will Send Many More Californians to the ER
California’s emergency departments will be more clogged than ever as climate change pushes daily temperatures higher, a study finds.
But there is one silver lining to the new research, however: Thousands of fewer deaths in California from extreme cold.
Nevertheless, high temperatures will also be flooding hospitals with patients as heat triggers injuries and worsens chronic health issues.
“Heat can harm health even when it doesn’t kill,” explained study first author Carlos Gould, assistant professor of public health at the University of California San Diego. “Warmer temperatures were consistently associated with more trips to the emergency department, so studies and planning that only consider mortality [death] miss a big slice of the burden.”
It’s on average 1.7F higher than it was in 1850. Can anyone tell the difference?
Working alongside researchers at Stanford University, Gould’s team looked at data on deaths, emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalizations and daily temperatures in California from 2006 to 2017.
The good news: projecting the health-related effects of climate change to 2050, California should expect to see around 53,500 fewer deaths overall due to less cold weather, the data showed.
So, are they say fewer deaths is a good thing or bad thing by 2050?
Of course, heatstroke is the effect that most people might associated with extreme heat. But many ED visits will be due to other heat-linked events or conditions: injuries, mental health issues and poisonings, especially.
“We often think about only the most extreme health impacts of heat waves: deaths. This work is showing that many things that we may not think about being sensitive to extreme heat are, like poisonings, endocrine disorders, injuries and digestive issues,” said study co-author Alexandra Heaney.
“We need to focus on the full spectrum of health impacts when we think about heat waves, now and in the future,” said Heaney, who is assistant professor of public health at UCSD.
So, give us money. For a whopping 1.7F in 175 years.

Ever since immigration raids swept Los Angeles in June, Han Lihua, 46, has spent much of his time hiding in his apartment, skipping his Amazon delivery shifts and scrolling on social media to look for nearby sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy, told Israeli hostage families on Saturday that the United States has a plan to bring home all the remaining captives held by Hamas in a sweeping deal and that an end to the war was near, according to a recording of the meeting published by Israeli Channel 12 television.
Americans are used to whiplash in their climate policy. The US has been in and out and in and out again of the key Paris climate agreement over the past four presidencies.
