Climate change should be recorded as a cause of death on death certificates in Australia because heat-related mortality is so vastly unreported, according to commentary published in The Lancet Planetary Health on Thursday.
Over the past 11 years in Australia, just 340 deaths have been recorded as being caused by excessive heat, but statistical analysis by two doctors with the Australian National University shows that 36,765 could have been attributed to heat.

Is this bullsh!t thread still being posted?
What happened to FR?
Funny. I am a scientist. I list the actually diagnostic causes of death. I would enjoy listing indirect causes
Indirect causes of death
Welfare and snap lead to severe protein calorie malnutrition as benefits were used at strip clubs and liquor stores
Voting democratic lead to insufficient health care due to burdensome regulations.
Patient was generally to stupid to live and finally succeeded
This could be fun if I got to list indirect causes
