Australian National University wants to add "climate change" to death certificates

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" !
