在第二篇论文的研究中，论文共同通讯作者、中国清华大学张强和郑博与合作者一起，利用一个机器学 习框架预测了全球到21世纪末的野火排放和相应的过早死亡，他们预计，从2010-2014年到2095-2099 年，火灾导致的全球碳排放可能在中等排放情景下增加23%。 他们的预测显示，到2095-2099年，野火烟雾导致的年过早死亡可能升至每年140万左右，几乎是当前水 平的6倍。在中等排放情景下，预计的健康负担存在明显差异，非洲预计会受到最重的影响(火灾相关死 亡预计为2010-2014年的11倍)，而欧洲和美国的死亡率可能是原来的1到2倍。 这两项最新气候变化研究的结果共同表明，必须寻找有望降低火灾风险并减少野火烟雾健康负担的干预 措施。(完) 来源：中国新闻网 最新气候变化研究：野火烟雾造成超额和过早死亡人数预计会增加 中新网北京9月19日电 (记者 孙自法)国际知名学术期刊《自然》最新同时发表两篇气候变化建模研究论 文显示，与未来预测气候变化相关的野火增加，预计会显著增加超额和过早死亡。其中一篇论文认为， 在高排放情景下，到2050年，野火烟雾可能会导致美国每年约7万例超额死亡。另一篇论文指出，全球 范围内，2 ...
