Yes, its more heatwave deaths fraud from the Imperial College!
Claims 2,700 people lost their lives due to the summer’s heatwaves are not reflected by official data, scientists have said.
An Imperial College study, published today, suggests extreme heat led to 440 deaths a day during June peak, with global warming ramping up temperatures.
The Imperial analysis also states more than 40 per cent of the people affected would not have died without the 1.4C of human-caused global heating to date.
However, the study was based on modelling estimates, rather than actual deaths, and is not reflected in real-world data
Professor Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson from the University of Oxford’s Centre of Evidence Based Medicine say official death figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) show no clear spike against the previous decade during the weeks covering the May and June heatwaves.
The pair are now calling on the ONS to publish more transparent death data so the public and researchers can judge the evidence for themselves.
