One interpretation: 90% of people born in the last 20 years or so are not being exposed to an increased number of heatwaves.
They only tell us an increase of 157 million people since 2000, not sure what the baseline is and don't feel like signing up for the lancet article. If you want to check it please share the baseline percentage of people? I just know its a rabbit hole... I'd start asking stuff like: is this people exposed at least once in their life to a heatwave, what is the definition of heatwave and how has the definition changed, in general how is this measured?
>"This change is clearly not due to population growth."
This is wild speculation, it all depends where the population growth has occurred.
