The missing context to climate alarmism


The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's heatwave forecast for September 2023 illustrates how much worse marine heatwaves are due to global warming. — NOAA Climate.gov

AS surely as temperatures rise during the summer, climate alarmism serves up more stories of life-threatening heat domes, apocalyptic fires, and Biblical floods, all blamed squarely on global warming. Yet, the data to prove this link is often cherry- picked, and the proposed policy responses are enormously ineffective.

Heatwaves are clearly made worse by global warming. But saturation-level media coverage of high temperatures in summertime fails to tell the bigger story: Temperature-driven deaths are overwhelmingly caused by cold. Globally, a recent Lancet study found 4.5 million cold deaths, which is nine times more than global heat deaths.
