Climate Change May Cause 26,000 More U.S. Suicides by 2050
The Atlantic ^ | July 2018 | Robinson Meyer

Posted on 11/25/2018 6:58:34 AM PST by Baynative

Now, scientists have identified one more way that climate shapes suicide—and, worryingly, they have projected that it will only become more pronounced as suicide rates rise in a rapidly warming world.

The finding has anxious implications for a world whose climate is rapidly changing. The authors project that roughly 14,000 people—and as many as 26,000—could die by suicide in the United States by 2050 if humanity does not reduce its emissions of greenhouse-gas pollution.

Maybe 26,000 out of 7 billion, over 32 years?

How does this even register on a mortality chart?

Around five or six years ago....I read a piece where a PhD guy had done statistics collection and shocked folks by saying that there is a prevalence to a higher rate of suicide in late spring to mid summer. Most folks were expecting it to be in January and February. But I can’t see global warming being some trigger-action to a higher rate. If Facebook suddenly collapsed and wouldn’t exist....I could see a thousand people going out and maybe giving up on life.

For those math challenged....it is 1 person per 3.5 billion per day.

Imagine the impact if those people are cremated. It will go logarithmic.

“Helen, the average temperature here has risen from 61 degrees to 62 degrees. It’s unbearable, and I’m going to end it all right now. Bang.”

Another completely unprovable claim by the climate scare-mongers to push their agenda.

Almost 3 million people die in the US every year. This amount of claimed extra deaths isn’t even a rounding error.

They’re just covering their butts by anticipating the likelihood that radical transgender policies will cause 26,000 more suicides by 2050.

This is all BS.

Just like the cyanide capsules to be taken during the 60’s because of the nuclear war threat.

Or in more recent times, the libs threatening to move to Canada or some other place because an election did not go their way.

Only the seriously mentally ill would even think of it.

Oh wait a minute, the left seriously mentally ill.

Human snowflakes can’t just melt away. Maybe they’ll all shoot themselves, bolstering the “guns kill” arguement. This is win-win for the SJWs.

If you are going to complain about “heat suicides”, you need to balance it out with heat vs cold deaths over that time span.

Some interesting numbers here - https://inconvenientfacts.xyz/heat-%26-life%2C-cold-%26-death

An excerpt -

A study by the European Union predicts that a future reduction in deaths from cold will significantly outweigh any increase in deaths from heat (Ciscar 2009). By that year, the author predicts, 162,000 additional premature deaths per year from heat will be outweighed by the predicted 256,000 deaths per year from cold that would be prevented (Fig. 6). In Europe alone, the study predicts that close to 100,000 people would be spared an untimely death—thanks to global warming. That being the case, we should all welcome the increasing warmth that will lengthen the global average life span.

Figures here -

We should encourage this type of behavior amongst liberal environmentalist whackos.
