>the way we heat up the earth right now, i don't think you have to worry about heating Nearly 10x more people die from the cold than from the heat. "...9.43% of global deaths were attributable to non-optimal temperatures, with 8.52% from cold and 0.91% from heat." https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5... | ||

This study doesn't factor in droughts, floods, crop death (and starvation), and other non-direct effects. It also doesn't consider wet-bulb events, because it's looking at average ambient temperatures. I don't think this is climate change propaganda, but your application of this study by evoking it in a discussion about climate change feels like it. | ||
