Extreme weather from climate change triggered hunger in nearly 100 million people and increased heat deaths by 68% in vulnerable populations worldwide as the world’s “fossil fuel addiction” degrades public health each year, doctors reported in a new study.
Worldwide the burning of coal, oil, natural gas and biomass forms air pollution that kills 1.2 million people a year, including 11,800 in the United States, according to a report Tuesday in the prestigious medical journal Lancet.
“Our health is at the mercy of fossil fuels,” said University College of London health and climate researcher Marina Romanello, executive director of the Lancet Countdown. “We’re seeing a persistent addiction to fossil fuels that is not only amplifying the health impacts of climate change, but which is also now at this point compounding with other concurrent crises that we’re globally facing, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis, energy crisis and food crisis that were triggered after the war in Ukraine.”
In the annual Lancet Countdown, which looks at climate change and health, nearly 100 researchers across the globe highlighted 43 indicators where climate change is making people sicker or weaker, with a new look at hunger added this year. […]
In praising the report, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres put it even more bluntly than the doctors: “The climate crisis is killing us.” …

This is Horse Hockey.
Will we be better off when limitations of the electrical grid choke off farm machinery and food distribution.
Judging by the look in her eyes, her dad might be Satan. That’s one scary chick.
Fossil fuels has enable prosperity worldwide. Billions are living better lives.
Fossil fuel is not an “addiction”. It’s a necessity if you want to work and live in this country. What kills is raising the price to the point that people can no longer afford it. That’s done by taxing and choking off the supply of it.
Patent absurdity. Those same ‘doctors’ helped promulgate the big vaccine lie and now that they’ve done that, they’re off to the races with new BS.
From what I could glean from the article, they mean researchers with PhDs, not medical doctors as we think of doctors. They’re using misleading terminology, since people tend to believe medical doctors. Just my opinion though. What medical doctor who has actual patients spends time worrying about the weather?

The Associated Press announced today it will significantly expand its climate coverage, creating a standalone desk that will enhance the global understanding of climate change and its impact across the world.
The initiative will infuse the global media landscape with a new stream of quality climate journalism through both AP content and in-depth training and collaboration directly with AP’s thousands of customers worldwide.
The news agency will also launch an AP StoryShare network for climate coverage, allowing news organizations to share their content with one another and in turn provide more robust coverage for their audiences.
The expansion is supported by several philanthropic organizations, including the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Quadrivium and The Rockefeller Foundation. AP retains complete editorial control of all content.
“Unbiased, fact-based journalism has never been more important or imperiled,” said Larry Kramer, president of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. “The Associated Press has, for over a century, played a crucial role reporting on the most pressing issues of our time, including climate change. The climate initiative will build on AP’s legacy of independent journalism and help millions better understand the impact of the climate crisis and counter climate-related misinformation.”

Then my job here is done.

No.
He’s just crazy.
They need to remake The Omen and call it The wOmen.
Camel-a could play her Jackal mom and Brad her baffled dad.
It’s perfect.
I recall a scene in the Churchill film about smog so bad in London in was killing people all over the place only about 80 years ago. Is the coal pollution there still as bad?
If they really cared about killing people they would talk about Dr Fubar financing Covid strains and the damage caused by Covid shots
Lysenko “science.”
That is a goal and a feature, not an unintended side effect, for those behind pushing this nonsense.
Well based on the Lancet article we are in no danger of running out of dung for fuel. So silver lining and all that.
Anyone making this claim is an idiot
Before the tractor gas powered) 40% of farmable land was used to grow crops for thr work animals… 40%…. Of all farmable land went to raise feed for the animals who worked on the farm
There is no math I. Existence that can show fossil fuels are a net loss for food being available, none
Lancet lost a lot of credibility in the past few years. Shoddy research, hyped conclusions, climate change hysteria.
Even my witch doctor thinks they are full of crap.
