CAUSED BY COLD WEATHER?

Unknown commented -

On a global basis, are very high temperatures REALLY more deadly than very low ones (as the Net Zero aligned media invariably imply?)

Or is the opposite true — That worldwide, the greatest ‘climate danger’ facing humans is being too COLD?

Heat inequality ‘causing thousands of unreported deaths in poor countries’

“Heat inequality is causing thousands of unreported deaths in poor countries and communities across the world, a leading analyst of climate impacts has warned, following global temperature records that may not have been seen in 120,000 years …

“‘“Heatwaves are the deadliest type of extreme weather …’ [said Friederike Otto, a senior lecturer in climate science at the Grantham Institute of Imperial College London] …

“‘Extreme heat is increasingly tearing through economies … and killing people …’ [said António Guterres, the UN secretary general] …”

The Lancet, 2021:

“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 [are] from cold, according to [a study published in the Lancet in 2021].

“On every continent, cold deaths surpassed heat deaths …”

The Lancet, 2015:

“Our findings show that temperature is responsible for advancing a substantial fraction of deaths, corresponding to 7·71% of mortality in the selected countries within the study period.

“Most of this mortality burden was caused by days colder than the optimum temperature (7·29%), compared with days warmer than the optimum temperature (0·42%) …

“Cold was responsible for a higher proportion of deaths than was heat …”
