The study, "On the causal link between carbon dioxide and air pollution mortality", by Mark Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering, shows that as many as 20,000 air-pollution related deaths may occur worldwide each year with each 1 degree Celsius increase.
"A coupled climate-air pollution model was used to show by cause and
effect that increases in fossil-fuel CO2 increase U.S. surface ozone, carcinogens, and particulate matter, thereby increasing death, asthma, hospitalization, and cancer rates."
