Cold Weather Deaths In U.S. Soar, Doubling In Two Decades
Study reveals shifts in rates of cold weather deaths based on age and race.

by George Citroner  Dec 30, 2024 in Extreme Weather, Health, News, Science Reading Time: 3 mins 
Americans are dying from cold weather at more than twice the rate they did two decades ago. [emphasis, links added]

A total of 40,079 deaths were recorded from 1999 to 2022, with cold temperatures as either an underlying or contributing cause of death, according to a research letter published Dec. 19 in JAMA Network.


The authors of the letter, affiliated with Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, used data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to analyze death certificates.

The letter highlights a long-term trend of increase in the rate of cold-related deaths, more than doubling from 0.44 per 100,000 people in 1999 to 0.92 per 100,000 people in 2022.

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

Since we all know, thanks to our AGW terrorist friends, that global warming causes colder weather this makes perfect sense.  What I don't understand is how the artic is supposed to melt from all this heat? :shrug:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Just before Christmas, a 42 year-old woman slipped on the ice and fell (at night), hitting her head, and froze to death next to her running car in an apartment parking lot not 1/2 mile from my house.
If only someone had found her sooner...
Be careful out there.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
