Cold kills roughly 20 times more people every year than heat does.

Humans do fine in the heat, they don’t do well at all in the cold. The dropping like flies claim is not backed up by any evidence. It’s not rare because the earth isn’t hot, it’s rare because humans sweat lol.

Sea levels have not risen at all in the past 200 years and they are certainly not rising at anything close to unmanageable levels if they are rising at all.

I work with this data on a regular basis in my day job as well so the argument from authority doesn’t really work on me.

The catastrophism around anthropogenic climate change is completely unjustified.

Lastly C02 tends to lag temperature changes when you look at the last 800,000 years of ice core data so it’s clearly not the primary driver of global temperature swings.

You do know why wet bulb temperature of 35 becomes dangerous, right?

Because sweating stops working as a heat management mechanism due to physics.

Yes I am, and yet humans still find ways to cool off in hot areas.

We have been living in every climate of the world for at least 15,000 years. Likely much longer, and even with all of our modern inventions. Cold still kills 20 times more people than heat does.

It’s much easier to escape the heat in some shade than it is to escape the cold when you have no source of heat.

There is no data to date that shows that the earth warming by a degree or two over the next century will lead to far more deaths from heat.
