Earth Still Much Colder Than Optimum, Science Shows…Lives Can Be Saved By More Warming





This little detail continues to be ignored of course.

What I will say though is that the mere act of fully reforesting the whole Middle East to the himalayas and Siberia and also the whole Sahara will be sufficient.  The work there will need several billion people.

Such a forest blanket caputures incoming energy instead of allowing most to be reflected back into Space.

Despite all the hysterical media claims, the earth’s climate is still extremely hostile and deadly in terms of cold. Warming would save millions of lives.

Yesterday’s post looked at how cold is far more deadly than heat.

Comparatively few people die from heat. Cold is the real killer. Image: The Lancet.

After all, people can die of hypothermia exposed to even at outside temperatures of 15°C, which is thought to be about the mean global temperature.

People flocking to Florida, not Minnesota

So little wonder that senior citizens prefer retiring in Florida, and not Alaska or Frozen Wasteland Minnesota. And no wonder people love summertime much more than they do winter.

Allan McRae added further on how cold kills, and I’ve upgraded his comment to a post:

Joe d’Aleo and I had written a paper on Excess Winter Mortality based on other evidence when the major Lancet study was published, so we revised our paper to include that excellent study. Our summary reads: ‘Cold weather kills. Throughout history and in modern times, many more people succumb to cold exposure than to hot weather, as evidenced in a wide range of cold and warm climates.’


Contrary to popular belief, Earth is colder-than-optimum for human survival. A warmer world, such as was experienced during the Roman Warm Period and the Medieval Warm Period, is expected to lower winter deaths and a colder world like the Little Ice Age will increase winter mortality, absent adaptive measures.Evidence is provided from a study of 74 million deaths in thirteen cold and warm countries including Thailand and Brazil, and studies of the United Kingdom, Europe, the USA, Australia and Canada.

These conclusions have been known for many decades, based on national mortality statistics.”

COLD WEATHER KILLS 20 TIMES AS MANY PEOPLE AS HOT WEATHER September 4, 2015

[excerpts]

The elderly and the poor in the United Kingdom, Germany and other countries are suffering increased winter deaths due to high energy costs. In the UK, this human disaster is called “Heat or Eat”.

The Excess Winter Mortality Rate in Britain is much higher than that in Canada. Canada has a population of about 35 million and the UK about 65 million, but Excess Winter Mortality in Canada is about 5000 to 10,000 per year, and in the UK it is 25,000 to 50,000 per year.

Canada and the UK have genetically similar populations and similar health care systems. Canada tends to be colder but mostly drier than the UK. However, Canada generally has much lower energy costs and better-insulated housing and probably better central heating systems, on average. This suggests that adaptation to winter and low energy costs are significant drivers of lower Winter Mortality rates.

Imagine IF the UK had competent politicians in the past several decades instead of warmist imbeciles. Instead of spending billions on green energy debacles, they could have spent the funds on improving home insulation and central heating, and encouraged fracking of shales to reduce natural gas prices, and a whole lot of grannies and grandpa’s would still be alive for their grandchildren.

Cheap, abundant, reliable energy is the lifeblood of society – it IS that simple.

When politicians fool with energy systems, real people suffer and die.”
