Once upon a time, environmental activists claimed that they wanted to save the planet for the children. Now they want to save the planet from the children.

Hotter weather thanks to climate change could cause a spike in deaths related to injuries—including suicides, assaults, and drownings—according to a study. One expert described the problem to Newsweek as the looming "hidden public health burden" of global warming.
Deaths by suicides, assaults, transport accidents, drownings and falls were forecast to be on the up if temperatures rose on average by 1.5 and 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the authors of the paper published in the journal Nature Medicine found.
The researchers analyzed data on deaths and temperatures between 1980 to 2017 in mainland United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, to see if anything changed when the weather was 1.5 and 2 degrees Celsius higher than average. They chose these figures as the international Paris Agreement on the climate, which the U.S. has started the process of withdrawing from, aims to keep average post-industrial global temperatures well below 2 degrees Celsius, and preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
A spike of 1.5 degrees Celsius was linked to an annual estimated 1,601 additional deaths as a result of injuries across the country, while a rise of over at least 2 degrees Celsuis was linked to 2,135 extra deaths per year.

Which 1600?
LOL!
The really hot ones?
Cooling by the same amount would kill more.
Conversely:
CLIMATE CHANGE LEADING TO COOLING OF JUST 1.5C COULD KILL 1,600 MORE AMERICANS EVERY YEAR

CLIMATE CHANGE LEADING TO COOLING OF JUST 1.5C COULD KILL 1,600 MORE AMERICANS EVERY YEAR
The bodies are piling up, thanks to the Trump hell-regime.
Electing Democrats (socialists) to public office will surely kill a lot more than that.
Implementing the Klimate Kook’s agenda will kill a great deal for than that.

Cool.
If they told Kashmira that all 1,600 would be Republicans she’d probably re-think her plan of action.
Lots more “Deaths by suicides, assaults, transport accidents, drownings and falls”
* Suicide. “Geez, Dear, it’s so damned hot, I’m going to off myself”?
* Assaults. “Stick ‘em up. I’m madder than hell I can’t cool off”?
* Transport Accidents. “Officer, I crashed because the road was slick with ice and snow.” Er, no.
* Drownings. More time at the beach. OK.
* Falls. Hmmm, less ice and snow means fewer of these. Nope
What a bunch of poorly thought out and immature conclusions.
Besides, in 2014, about 2.6 million people died in the United States. An extra 1,600 is truly lost in the noise.
Cooling would probably kill TEN TIMES more than a little bit of warming up.
only 1600 ? I would think that an increase of that magnitude would be a disaster of much larger proportions. They cant even get their exaggerations straight.
And isn’t it amazing not a single life would be saved? For example during the Winter?
“CLIMATE CHANGE LEADING TO WARMING OF JUST 1.5C COULD KILL 1,600 MORE AMERICANS EVERY YEAR...”
Which ones?
“COULD KILL 1,600 MORE AMERICANS EVERY YEAR”
Scary? Check
Resembles a prediction? Check
Actually does not commit to any sort of prediction? Check
In any case, not verifiable? Check
Perfection. A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
I thought we were all doomed.
