How the Climate Elite Spread Misery

Can't get more common sense than from Bjorn L.

 

How the Climate Elite Spread Misery

 

Such arguments are misleading. It’s true that as temperatures rise the world will experience more heat waves, but humans also adapt to such things. In Spain, for example, rising temperatures have actually led to fewer heat deaths, because people have adapted faster than temperatures have gone up. It simply took air conditioning, public cooling centers and better treatment of maladies that are caused or aggravated by heat, such as heatstroke and heart disease.

 

The exclusive focus on heat deaths is also misleading. Across the world, low temperatures are much more dangerous than high ones: Half a million people die each year from heat, but more than 4.5 million die from cold. While rising temperatures will increase heat deaths, they will also decrease cold deaths. A recent Lancet study found that rising temperatures since 2000 have on net reduced the number of temperature-related deaths. Researchers concluded that by the end of the 2010s, rising temperatures globally were causing 116,000 more heat deaths annually, but also leading to 283,000 fewer cold deaths a year.

I guess wildlife, plants should also be able to benefit from air conditioning and public cooling places.

Aren't plants greatly benefitting from CO2?

Plants flourish in sun and heat.  See also: Rain forests, forests, plant sun requirements, etc.  Ever been to the equator, or South America?  Vietnam?  Seen the vegetation in those locations?

It has always mystified me why there's so much panic about a little warming when it may mean that places like Greenland could actually develop agricultural capabilities.

But Iceland will perish.  Oh, wait... Iceland is green while Greenland is ice.

We park on driveways and drive on parkway.  Makes sense now.
