In some cases, physicians provide lethal drugs that their patients then take to kill themselves. This type of euthanasia is called physician-assisted suicide.

A third forecast consequence of increased temperatures is an increase in tropical cyclone activity.

It is, however, impossible to make any accurate forecasts on actual changes in risk in any particular region.
