Researchers at
The Australian
National University
want to add
climate change
to death certificates,
to support their
(false) claim that
people are dying
from climate change.
In the real world,
cold weather causes
far more fatalities
than hot weather.
But never mind reality,
we are talking about
climate alarmism !
According to the
climate alarmists,
unusual cold is just
weather, not climate !
Deaths to which
hot weather contributed
would be classified as
“climate-change-related”,
with no evidence the area
was actually getting warmer,
or that humans were
responsible for the warming.
The study was published
in Lancet, and said:
“National mortality records
in Australia suggest substantial
under-reporting of heat-related
mortality.
Less than 0.1%
of 1.7 million deaths
between 2006 and 2017
were attributed directly
or indirectly to excessive
natural heat.
However, recent research indicates
that official records underestimate
the association at least 50-fold.”
It's a short step
from listing heat-related
deaths, to calling them
climate-related.
And of course
death certificates
would ignore
any drop in
cold-related deaths,
which would be
expected to happen
from global warming.
Australian bushfires
are not evidence
of climate change
-- they are evidence
of negligent forest
management.
But people who die
in brushfires
would not have
their deaths
attributed
to government
mismanagement
of forests --
the cause of death
for them would be
"climate change" !
