Global Warming is Only A Modest Problem

Global Warming is Only A Modest Problem

Human-forced global warming (also called "Climate Change" by some) is only a modest problem.   

The scientific facts are clear:

It is NOT an existential threat to humanity.   It is NOT a crisis.

*Extreme Weather, Enhanced by Climate Change, Is Causing Increasing Numbers of Deaths

You have heard the claim multiple times:   increasing extreme weather resulting from climate change is resulting in many more extreme weather-related deaths.

This is simply untrue.   Deaths from extreme weather (extreme heat/cold, hurricanes, extreme windstorms, flooding, etc.) are down...a LOT (see proof below).

Such deaths are down even though there are a lot more people on the planet.  

Why?   Much better forecasts allow people to get out of the way or prepare.  Many nations have invested in making themselves less vulnerable to severe weather--including some of the poorest.

Want an example?  In 1970, Cyclone (Hurricane) Bhola hit Bangladish and nearly 500,000 people died.

In 2020, a more powerful storm (Super Cyclone Amphan) hit virtually the same location, with only 133 deaths.

Severe storm deaths are profoundly down.....is this a "crisis"?

*Extreme Temperature Deaths Will Decline

There is a deep literature showing that cold waves kill far more people than heat waves.   For example, a 2015 article in The Lancet found 17 times more deaths from cold than heat (see figure from that article below).

Thus, global warming will REDUCE deaths from extreme temperatures.

Weekend snow: Russia sees 7 feet, Florida gets a dusting

19th January  2025

Parts of Russia are dealing with the aftermath of a powerful storm that dumped more than 7 feet of snow over the weekend. At the same time, northern Florida experienced rare snowfall. FOX 9 meteorologist Cody Matz reports.

Meanwhile in Australia...

Parts of Western Australia's north are sweltering through a heatwave too hot to be measured by some thermometers.

Severe heatwave conditions are affecting inland parts of WA's Pilbara region and coastal areas from Coral Bay to Kalbarri, and are expected to have maximum temperatures in the high 40s for the remainder of the week.

When the weather bureau reported maximums of nearly 48 degrees Celsius in Marble Bar this week, local caravan park owner Neil Munro said his newly bought thermometer could not capture the full brunt of the heat.

Mr Munro said in his area, the temperature surpassed 50C.

"The temperature gauge that I just bought not long ago, with the barometer and everything, I was very disappointed with it because it only goes up to 50C,"

Mr Munro said.

"It hit 50C yesterday … we've got the electronic one but that got up above 53C."

Marble Bar has been called Australia's "hottest town".
