Is every weather related death from now on going to be contributed to global warming?

Answer 1

I strongly believe so, at least by those who want CO2 and so on stopped at any cost!

In fact, I believe that other deaths from many diseases and accidents will be blamed on Global Warming, since it supposedly includes lots of pollutions.

But the proponents will never consider how cleaning up the smoke and dust has let more of the sun's heat through to warm the earth!!

50 years or so ago, it was Global Cooling that was the whipping boy, and we had to clean things up before we all froze to death.

Those who want to take control of everybody else and run things their way will always find excuses to demand we change things and run things their way...or else we are killing innocent victims.

Unfortunately, collectively we do not really study and know history, and learn from it, and so we are compelled to repeat it, with slight variations, over and over,. only with new demagogues.

If we clean up the environment to prevent lung cancer, we will be causing skin cancers from too much sunlight, etc. And if we use sun blocks, they will be found to be polluting the environment and causing some other cancer of disease. And more laws restricting what we can and cannot do will be screamed for.

I do have a suggestion...to cut down on disease, let's make huge dry-ice machines all over our country, and ship the dry ice as quick as we make it to the cool government storage caves, and take the CO2 out of the atmosphere...and see how much healthier it makes us!

Tho diseases and deaths may be good...I have read in some notes that some scientists have linked the Black Death plague to causing the end of the MWP and inducing the LIA..global cooling with a vengeance, if you can believe history, and the current consensus of scientists both.

By the way, I thought Science came up with answers that can be and have been tested and verified...not answers by "consensus" of many scientists and politicians. Select the proper group, weed out or ridicule those who have doubts or contradictory data, and they can, by consensus, then agree on most anything, whether true or not.

Anyhow, watch for the rises in death, crime, accidents, bankruptcies, scandals, famines, diseases, wars...all to be attributed to our not acting fast enough to curb Global Warming. And any decreases, even temporary, to the efforts of Concerned Leaders who fixed the Environment for us.

Answer 2

Is temperature part of the weather or not? All death from temperature would be Weather related not the other way around. If global warming kills us off then you could say we died from bad Weather.

Answer 3

it is getting extra and harder to disclaim that we are, certainly, seeing the outcomes. If a penny comes down heads 4 situations out of 5, that would nicely be danger. If it comes down heads 40 situations out of 50, it is a biased coin. all and sundry adventure would nicely be danger, even if the preponderance of warming-pushed activities over others constitutes evidence. climate is in basic terms climate, yet sufficient examples of climate upload as a lot as climate. remark: Sarge927 is shameless: "the united kingdom-depending climatologists ... admitted the info had to be heavily fudged to "educate" global warming". total lies. they did not because it wasn't. Six separate enquiries have now exonerated them of all accusations of dishonesty. really he has heard about this? poeticmaniac should be careful what he's smoking: "global warming is pretend the authorities already nationwide admitted it became a scam to get human beings to spend funds". No courting to certainty.

Answer 4

Not just weather related deaths, any weather at all. If it changes or not it's global warming.

Answer 5

Probably. To do otherwise would violate the First Sacred Law of Leftist Debate -- style before substance.

Who cares if the weather-related death has anything to do with global warming or not, whether or not the weather event in question was caused by it, or even whether or not humans are causing climate change? The leftist "debate" isn't a real debate, it's propaganda intended to support their foregone conclusion that people are dying form weather events caused by climate change, and it's all the fault of the Eeeeeeeeevil Corporations who refuse to mindlessly follow along with whatever of Nader or Gore's edict is in vogue this week.

Answer 6

There is no weather event, that we see today, that hasn't been happening for thousands of years. Weather related deaths are, for the VAST majority, due to the fact that people live near rivers(floods), in flat, plain states(tornados) or near oceans, (hurricanes).........not to mention blizzards and forest fires..............those are all natural occurences that we need to accept as risks we take for the way we want to live

Answer 7

They already do, I can't tell you how many times I have seen questions or responses on this board saying that Hurricane Katrina and the European heat wave and thus global warming killed people.
Anyone who looks into these issues will find that the massive deaths caused by these events was due primarily to government mismanagement and unpreparedness and not because these events were particularly bad compared to other natural disasters that have occurred.

Answer 8

No and there's no suggestion that anyone is doing so.

It's reasonable to cite global warming as a primary factor in the 150,000 annual excess deaths caused by weather related events over and above the long term norm. The correlation between rising temperatures, extreme weather events and deaths is a near perfect one.

150,000 is the World Health Organisation's most conservative estimate, some sources put the figure at 10 times as much.

Answer 9

There were more tornadoes in the 19th and early part of the 20th century then there have been lately. Nowadays, tornado disasters are quite rare. But now we tend to have more hurricanes, and if not all hurricanes seem that large or menacing, at least more large and menacing hurricanes have been predicted by weather caster's than in any other time in history.

These days tsunamis make the news and have devastating consequences. But actually, tsunamis are rarer now than they were in previous times, just ask any pacific islander.

It reminds me of the story of the doctor who made bucks on his patient by making the patient think that every twitch, every sniffle was a symtom that the patient was sufffering from a rare disease which needed to be treated by prescription medicines.

Answer 10

Not every death, but every major storm, every period of hotter than normal or colder than normal, every dead frog, etc. Watch what happens the next time a hurricane hits anywhere.
