Climate alarmism serves up more stories of life-threatening heat domes, apocalyptic fires and biblical floods, all blamed squarely on global warming.
In America and Canada, a recent Lancet study found that 20,000 people die each year from heat, but 170,000 die from cold.The study also shows temperatures increasing 0.5 degrees Celsius in the first two decades of this century have caused an additional 116,000 heat deaths annually.Reporting only on the former leaves us badly informed.AFP via Getty Images/ Darren Hull
After 2003 heat waves, France’s rational reforms that included mandatory air conditioning in care homes reduced heat deaths 10-fold, despite higher temperatures.In the United States, cheap gas from fracking allowed millions to keep warmer with low budgets, saving 12,500 lives each year.Governments have promised to achieve “net zero” carbon emissions at a cost beyond $5.6 trillion annually.Along with temperature spikes, alarming images of forest fires share the front pages this summer.
Indeed, by Aug. 12, all Europe has cumulatively burned less than it has at the same time any of the last 10 years.The fire in Hawaii is deeply tragic. But it is lazy and unhelpful for pundits to use the tragedy to incorrectly blame climate change. The UN climate panel’s latest report, however, has “low confidence in general statements to attribute changes in flood events to anthropogenic climate change.”
While climate alarmism reaches new heights of scariness — with the UN secretary-general’s “global boiling” claims entering ridiculous territory — the reality is more prosaic.
