Cold kills people 9:1 as compared tp heat.

In most places, the temperature is more often too cold than too hot, which helps explain why more than 90 percent of temperature-related deaths were from cold, according to the Lancet study. On every continent, cold deaths surpassed heat deaths.

 

What part of extreme cold weather is not related to global warming?

Climate crisis is ‘battering our economy’ and driving inflation, new book says

 

Climatenomics lays out how ‘supply chain disruptions’ has become a euphemism for the effects of climate change

 

Assessing the role of climate change on economies is one thing but, for now, most models merely assess the cost of climate-related disasters, not their underlying effect on inflation.

According to Keefe, citing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) figures, climate-related weather disasters cost the US economy more than $145bn in 2021 – a nearly 50% increase from last year. Over the last five years, they have cost $750bn. Since 1980 323 weather and climate disasters have cost $1bn or more, the total cost of these events exceeds $2.195tn.

The Guardian is left wing. Always warmist and biased.

The Guardian didn't do the research. Sorry, shooting the messenger doesn't cut the mustard.

At least stop cherry picking. Report all the facts.

They've been reported ad infinitum on this board. I haven't cherry picked anything. Denying that there is no significant economic or health ramifications to climate change is patently wrong.

Confirmation bias is extreme on this topic. The Guardian is the worst at it. Bad journalism, bad science.

The article does not refer to The Guardian. A diatribe on confirmation bias in general is off topic. The Guardian reported on a book. Are they supposed to ignore the book release? That would be censorship. The right wing is all over the map on that topic.

The Guardian is 100% biased. They never report the whole story. You cannot not know this unless biased yourself.

It my be biased but it doesn't lie like several other news services.

 

Ad Fontes Media rates The Guardian in the Skews Left category of bias and as Reliable, Analysis/Fact Reporting in terms of reliability.

 

Worrying about bias is barking up the wrong tree. Truth and reliability are key.

If this is true, then man-made global warming must be beneficial. Do you know that, globally, far more people die from cold weather than hot weather?

 

"Cold weather kills 20 times as many people as hot weather, according to an international study analyzing over 74 million deaths in 384 locations across 13 countries."

No he ignores it. Confirmation bias.

For all you people who believe in Climate Change, what is the ideal temperature that you are looking for.  They want the US to spend $12 trillion to end Climate Change.  A leader in the US Government was asked, "after spending $12 trillion, what will the temperature be?"  Could not give an answer.
