Bjorn Lomborg reports in Business
Day that the latest IPCC report – the “code red” document states that “frequency
and intensity of cold extremes has decreased.” Just what we might expect.
The Lancet reports that half a
million die from heat every year. At the
same time 4.5 million people die from cold. The last 10 years have seen,
globally, an increase of 116,000 deaths from heat but a decrease of 283,000
deaths from cold. We have then seen 167,000 lives saved per year
This is neither apocalypse nor
anything to be guilty about. Code red? Code for – look at both benefits and
costs. You might be surprised.
