Contrary to the "consensus" narrative on warming that equates increasing temperature to increased death, the data tell a much different story.
According to the facts, global warming likely will save millions of lives rather than lead to more deaths.
- Globally, 10 to 20 times as many people die from cold as from heat.
- Warming temperatures will lead to declines in deaths associated with cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and strokes (Idso 2024) as all are closely linked to cold.
- In the United States, thousands of early deaths are avoided annually by people moving from cold northern states to warmer southern states (Deschenes (2009).
- Famine and starvation have historically been the greatest climatological killer, and millions of these deaths will be avoided as a result of increasing food supplies from lengthened growing seasons and more CO2.
The most recent study (Masselot 2023) was published in the journal “The Lancet” and studied temperature-related deaths in 854 urban areas in Europe. They found a 10:1 ratio in annual excess deaths ascribed to cold (203,620) compared to those attributed to heat (20,173). |
