Written by Karl Burkart There’s no doubt United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change delegates are feeling a great deal of pressure to make some tangible progress here at the COP16 climate conference in Cancun.

But that pressure may be ratcheted up a notch after the Dec. 3 release of the Climate Vulnerability Monitor, the first definitive study of the impacts of climate change on human health. The report was prepared by DARA, a leading humanitarian research organization in conjunction with the CVF (Climate Vulnerable Forum) an alliance of 11 nations* that are experiencing the most direct impacts of climate change.....

Not surprisingly, most of those impacted will be children and women in the poorest parts of the world. The data charts provided in the report reveal a tragic irony — the countries that pollute the most are affected the least....

Africa starts out worse, and gets far worse with mortality doubling while habitat and economic losses quadruple. DARA director Ross Mountain tries to put these findings in perspective: If we let pressures more than triple, or worse, no amount of humanitarian assistance or development aid is going to stem the suffering and devastation. Highly fragile countries will become graveyards over which we pour billions of dollars....

The report, though sobering, does end on a brighter note with 50 measures that governments can begin implementing right now to stave off the worst impacts predicted by the Climate Vulnerability Monitor.

The 11 nations are Bangladesh, Barbados, Bhutan, Kiribati, Ghana, Kenya, Nepal, Rwanda, Tanzania, Vietnam and Maldives. Karl Burkart blogs for the Mother Nature Network.

I have a neighbor who is a highly trained climate scientist who predicts there could be 76 million deaths from climate change by 2041. He’s just not as accurate predicting the weather next week.

“Only 1/10th the number that could be directly tied to liberal stupidity.”

EXACTLY. How many will die from malaria, as a result of that idiotic ban on DDT? Most of those countries are in malaria-endemic areas. They’re worrying about the wrong thing!

Five million deaths over ten years across the planets from floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, droughts, heat waves, and storms

In other words: 5 million over ten years due to the Earth’s WEATHER.

Oooh! A tornado is forming! Your fault for driving a car! Therefore, give me money!

Socialism/Communism killed 140 million people in the twentieth century alone.

[circlecity]

I’m pretty sure 5 million people will die by 2020 in any event.

It’s the liberals that are always yelling about overpopulation and the need to thin the herd. They should be happy...

[Titus-Maximus]

Let’s hope it’s the right 5 million.

[hinckley buzzard]

Well, I heard Harry Reid this morning raise the tax ante from "700 billion in debt to give to millionaires and billionaires" to "a four trillion dollar bailout for billionaires."

So I guess a hypothetical one-tenth degree increase in some temperatures in some places can kill five million people all over the world. Yeah sure, I believe it--why not?

[americanophile]

One MILLION dollars!

[dalereed]

50 million deaths avoided by climate change!

"The 11 nations are Bangladesh, Barbados, Bhutan, Kiribati, Ghana, Kenya, Nepal, Rwanda, Tanzania, Vietnam and Maldives."

Home of some of the greatest scientific minds on the planet. LOL!

5 million deaths from the unwarranted ban on DDT and the rise of Malaria.

5 million deaths from starvation due to a main food staple for humanitarian relief (corn) being used to inefficiently create a crappy fuel for automobiles (ethanol).

5 million deaths for a 1/2 degree temperature change.

Sounds about right. If the false-prophet enviro-fascists keep up at this pace, humanity will be compelled to act.

Isn't it amazing how they were able to go from globull warming to climate change without missing a beat. The libs followed right along.

Incredible! Literally incredible! Think of all the people who will drown when those Himalayan glaciers melt! And freeze to death when winters in Wales are as cold as Greenland!
