JULY 14, 2023
 
By Paul Homewood

 

Yet another study finds that deaths from cold far outweigh those from heat:

Another Lancet study came to similar conclusions a couple of years ago:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Which stands to reason.  Unless one is outside in the Sun, without shade or cover, in 100+ deg. F temperatures, one is generally not going to die from the heat if one slows down and takes it easy - that's why historically hot countries have had afternoon siestas, and why there are a lot of covered sidewalks in their towns and cities.

Conversely, if it gets cold - even just down into the low 40s - one has to expend resources - money or fuel - to stay warm enough to stay alive.  One cannot simply sit down in the shade and stop moving in order to stay warm, but one can certainly stay cool enough to live in the heat by doing exactly that.

Climate fraudster Greta Thunberg just tweeted this: Week 256. We are currently shattering heat records all over the world.  :silly:

The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

Oh, dearie me, after 200 years, we finally had a new high.  Why should that suprise anyone?  It is inevitable.  And just as inevitable is the regression to the mean.
