How overheating is destructive to the human body.  A close analysis shows that any of 27 different mechanisms can be a cause for death in the presence of a severe heatwave.  High tolls that have been reported in recent years with less than one degree of global warming are likely to be greatly exceeded as two degrees approaches.  The post at its very end has a link to the full report, open access, containing maps of where exposure is the greatest.  Surprisingly, the great European heatwave of 2003 occurred in a region that is normally quite temperate.
