As Britain basks in sunshine, why heatwaves and malaria 'could kill thousands within five years'


Yesterday was declared the hottest February 12 ever - as Britain was warned that climate change could lead to thousands of deaths during heatwaves and outbreaks of malaria.


A report said there was a "high risk" of a dangerously hot summer within five years that could kill 6,000 people.



There is a one in 40 chance that by 2012 the South East will have a heatwave that could cause 3,000 immediate deaths and 3,000 more later, it said.
