Alarmists Predict ‘1 Billion’ Deaths from Climate Change This Century
Breitbart ^ | 09/06/2023 | THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.

Posted on 09/06/2023 5:06:55 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Researchers from Canada and Australia have published a study predicting a remarkable one billion deaths from climate change over the next 100 years.

Citing a “scientific consensus,” the authors analyzed 180 studies on climate change and mortality, converging on a “1000-ton rule,” which means for every 1,000 tons of fossil fuel burned, a person dies.

The article, published in the journal Energies, contends that “a future person is killed every time humanity burns 1000 tons of fossil carbon,” based on a calculation that “burning a trillion tons of fossil carbon will cause 2°C of anthropogenic global warming (AGW), which in turn will cause roughly a billion future premature deaths spread over a period of very roughly one century.”

Estimates of world population growth suggest that by 2100 there will be just over 10 billion humans on the planet, meaning that 10 percent of humanity will die from climate change, if the study’s authors are to be believed.

Those poor trees.

Alarmists continue to make crap up. It us like screaming “racist” for every incident involving a person of color. Soon the words and alarms will mean nothing, and the screamers will be ignored.

Half of the time they’re screaming that we’re over-populated and need to get rid of a few million people... the other half they’re screaming that climate change will kill a few million people.

Do you notice that “climate change” is the only issue where Leftists appear to care about “future people.”

“Scientific consensus” isn’t scientific at all, but that’s what they want us to think. Real science requires evidence.

In the absence of facts, they spread doomsday fiction...

Almost everyone now living will die over the next 100 years, plus billions currently unborn, but it won’t be from climate change.

“But 4 billion dead from Covid vaccines”

You beat me to it. This is precisely how these clowns will attempt to explain away the 40% excess all cause deaths the insurance industry is documenting.

The climate emergency may even be used to payoff the insurance industry, so they too get in line and keep their mouths shut on what is actually occurring.

Our government is the government our founders warned against.

I thought the Left wanted population control. Looks like Climate Change is the way to do it.

Whenever you hear a ‘simple statistic’ or a ‘simple extrapolation’ just ignore it. They’re too simplistic to provide any value and usually have many alternate explanations.

This makes so many assumptions it’s ridiculous. It’s a pure extrapolation from a quite questionable claim in the first place.
