Prof. Brian Stone","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EHeat-related deaths are likely to soar over the next 40 years due to climate warming, but new research has found that increase could be cut by more than half \u2014 and virtually eliminated in Atlanta \u2014 if major cities across the nation embraced a greener footprint. The four-year study out of Georgia Tech is the first major national assessment of major city residents\u2019 health, the impact of rising temperatures and what city officials could do to alleviate a growing crisis. Heat already kills more people in the United States than hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes combined, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And science shows most major cities, including Atlanta, are already warming at two times the rate of the planet.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27215","created_gmt":"2014-06-30 13:33:19","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:27:11","author":"Mike Alberghini","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"big tech","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"http:\/\/www.ajc.com\/news\/news\/state-regional-govt-politics\/ga-tech-study-suggests-ways-to-ease-climate-change\/ngSnf\/","dateline":{"date":"2014-06-26T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2014-06-26T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1224","name":"School of City \u0026 Regional Planning"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
