Climate change warnings exaggerated?
The Times reports that a fall in deaths attributed to weather indicates that climate change warnings could have been overstated.
-
"GREEN scientists have been accused of overstating the dangers of climate change by researchers who found that the number of people killed each year by weather-related disasters is falling.
Their report suggests that a central plank in the global warming argument – that it will result in a big increase in deaths from weather-related disasters – is undermined by the facts. It shows deaths in such disasters peaked in the 1920s and have been declining ever since."
-
It will be interesting to see if these reports help cut through the hype of climate change and aid a reasoned discussion of the phenomenon.
