uk senior coldThe title has been updated to reflect a mistyped word. –CCD ed.
The Washington Post’s (WaPo) dedicated (twice a week) climate columnist, Michael J. Coren, the so-called Climate Coach, posted an article stating as fact that high temperatures kill more people in the United States each year than cold temperatures. This is false.
Data and peer-reviewed research consistently show that far more people die in the United States annually from cold temperatures and cold-related health complications than from hot temperatures and heat-related health complications. [emphasis, links added]
Coren’s Climate Coach Column this week discussed the extremely hot temperatures occurring in mid-July around the globe, suggesting climate change is becoming so severe that the world needs a new scale to measure heat.
