Climate hysterics are innate liars. One of their favorite tactics is to spread fear about supposed human-caused climate change leading to millions of deaths from heat. Anyone who follows the topic knows that cold is far deadlier than heat. New research verifies that. This study in a cardiology journal examined county level data in the US relating to deaths in “sub-optimal” temperatures. (I don’t know what the hell sub-optimal means. The temperature is what it is.) There is a lot of mumbo-jumbo modeling in here, but the idea was to try to categorize some deaths as due to excess heat and some to excess cold. There were around 6100 heat-related deaths and 73,000 cold-related ones. So cold is about 12 times more dangerous to humans than heat is.
Now what is hilarious about the study is the authors try to tie it to climate change and claim that climate change is actually causing more extreme weather events, including severe cold snaps, which is a flat out lie, unsupported by any evidence. And Al Gore tells us that ice and snow are disappearing. The obvious conclusion from the research is that cold is far more dangerous to humans than warmth; and that therefore a warming world, if it exists, would be beneficial. As I said the most interesting thing about the study is how even physicians feel the need to bow down to the climate hysteria gods to get research published. (Cardiology Journal Article)
