Climate change analysis predicts increased fatalities from heat waves

category international | environment | other press author Wednesday May 04, 2011 13:37author by Boris Report this post to the editors

It may already be too late to stop climate change. Full paper at url.

Global climate change is anticipated to bring more extreme weather phenomena such as heat waves that could impact human health in the coming decades. An analysis led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health calculated that the city of Chicago could experience between 166 and 2,217 excess deaths per year attributable to heat waves using three different climate change scenarios for the final decades of the 21st century. The study was published May 1 edition of the journal Environmental Health Perspectives

"Our study looks to quantify the impact of increased heat waves on human mortality. For major a U.S. city like Chicago, the impact will likely be profound and potentially devastating," said Roger Peng, PhD, lead author of the study and associate professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. "We would expect the impact to be less severe with mitigation efforts including lowering CO2 emissions."

there ARE too many people in the world
Its at the root of so many of our problems
Its the elephant in the room
the nettle that nobody will grasp.

The irony is most of those people are living miserable lives in abject poverty and terrible work conditions

However I'd imagine if the population is going to be reduced, it won't be through global warming. It'll be something like this:

It's rather ironic and disingenuious that the same environmentalist who want the human population on earth reduced from 6 to 1 billion are so worried that people might be killed by global warming! More people die from cold than heat mate.

A lesson in the idiocy of the AGW hysterical Climate 'Scientists', see the first graphic below
The black line is actual temperature, way lower than 'predicted' (i.e: completely made-up).

Source: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2007, p. 675, based on Santer et al, 2003.
See also IPCC, 2007, Appendix 9C.
ACTUAL temperature data from 1998 to Nov. 2010 added later
no warming trend at all for years.

The second graph shows the DECLINE in correlation between Temp & CO2 - similar to what Keith Briffa was referring to when he made the statement "Hide the Decline" in relation to Prof Michael Mann's utterly discredited Hockey Stick Graph, showcased by the IPCC in one of their reports and by Al Gore in his ridiculous film An Inconvenient Truth
Source: http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/hadcrut3vgl/from:2001/...trend
This decline makes a mockery of the AGW-Hysterics childishly ridiculous contention that CO2 Rise = Temp Risae

The silly predictions of AGW hysterics laid bare

Hide the Decline!! - The hysterics own data shows a decline in Temperature since 2001

According to Europe’s Envisat, It will take more than 1,000 years for sea level to rise one metre.

Almost as big a threat as six year old blonde girls in pigtails carrying explosives to airports in their knickers.

Yet more bad news. Full report at url.

The ice of Greenland and the rest of the Arctic is melting faster than expected and could help raise global sea levels by as much as 5 feet this century, dramatically higher than earlier projections, an authoritative international assessment says.

The findings "emphasize the need for greater urgency" in combating global warming, says the report of the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP), the scientific arm of the eight-nation Arctic Council.

The warning of much higher seas comes as the world's nations remain bogged down in their two-decade-long talks on reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.

Rising sea levels are expected to cause some of global warming's worst damage - from inundated small islands to possible flooding of New York City's subways. Oceans will not rise uniformly worldwide, because of currents, winds and other factors, but such low-lying areas as Bangladesh and Florida will likely be hard-hit.
