Climate change death toll ‘to double within 25 years.’»

“Deaths and injuries from climate change are set to more than double in the next 25 years, according to estimates” by the World Health Organization. Deaths “linked to even a very narrow number of causes most closely connected to shifting weather patterns will reach more than 300,000 a year by 2030.”

  9. Frank Matthews Says:

    The World Health Organisation (sic) can kiss my ass. They are including deaths that mankind has suffered from way before the Industrial Revolution people. Are you guys seriously saying there were never human deaths from hurricanes, heat waves or malaria and malnutrition before global warming?! What exactly is the “number of disease-adjusted life years (Dalys) lost – a measure of injury and earlier death – linked to warming”?

    Tony McMichael at the Australian National University calculated that in 2000 there were already 166,000 deaths and 5.5m Dalys caused by warming that had taken place since the 1970s. LOL!

    Good for you Frank, you are reading the material. Yes, your dismissive tone suggests that you have a lot of supressed anger to overcome here. But you’ve taken your first step today, I think we should all applaud Frank as he starts his journey.


  12. jonny Says:

    PROPAGANDA!

    Amazing how TP marches in step with the Report From Iron Mountain.


  13. Me Says:

    OK, Frank, let’s reword

    “Climate change death toll ‘to double within 25 years.’”

    to

    Natural Disaster death toll ‘to double within 25 years.’

    that makes it better new, yes?

    semantics


  14. Frank Matthews Says:

    Oh, come on TerrytheTurtle, you are not going to buy into some phoney baloney that attributes NORMAL deaths from hurricanes (which were happening way before global warming) to this, are you?? Will the hysteria ever stop?


  15. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    Jonny, thanks for trying, but you know that this report was the ‘World Health Organization’ and reported in the ‘Financial Times’ - which it the king of capitalist newspapers. If you really want to be a troll on this site, you should try to read the material first. Oh and get a fax machine for your GOP Taling Points. Good god man, invest in your craft at least.


  16. Frank Matthews Says:

    No, “Me” it doesn’t because WHO is basing projections on claimed global warming INCREASES!!! I mean this really takes the cake, people. Does it even take into account that there should be a lot more than 6 billion people on the earth in 2030? I quickly searched Google for what the “number of disease-adjusted life years (Dalys) lost – a measure of injury and earlier death – linked to warming” means but have not found any plausible explanation yet.

    Is that it? Which bit are you struggling with, the warming bit or that the WHO says warming causes changing weather patterns, destruction of habitat, agricultural lands etc. Come on sonny, I’ve not bought into anything yet…. change my mind won’t you?


  18. joe Says:

    If the deaths are “normal,” genius, why are they projected to double over the next two decades?


  19. anglish Says:

    I’ll bet the toll with be much higher than that!


  20. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    So I’m following this drought in the West, see. My USA Today reports that 55% of the West is in an extended drought with 50% less snowpack this year than last (which was a good year, nevertheless). So I think about water use in the San Joaquin valley and Arizona and so on for food growth and the population growth in the West.. Makes you think, what happens if the drought continues or the expected rainfall drops 25% or more due to a shift in pattern attributed to climate change….

    Now some blokes in Oz can rabbit on all they like about tying all of this to statistics and I can’t argue one way or the other, because their methods may be suspect, but you know…. it only took a small cooling in the 1400s to wipe out the Vikings in Greenland….

  23. knows it all Says:

    If the population doubles in that time, as is predicted, then of course the deaths from disasters will double. But warming is causing lots of intense storms that will definitely kill more people. So expect the deaths from warming to go up ten times easily!


  24. michael Says:

    If anything this report is nothing but laughable!

    “The World Health Organisation is finalising data forecasting that deaths linked to even a very narrow number of causes most closely connected to shifting weather patterns will reach more than 300,000 a year by 2030.”

    Well if they are correct, let’s keep our fingers crossed that it occurs in muslim nations. Let nature do it so that we don’t have to!

I am guessing you fancy taking the opposite position, yes?

    Well Blue State Poster, if michael does support us then he should learn to support the work that we do. But to just say that he wants all of them dead, well, I have some friends over there. Many of us soldiers have made friendships with many of the Iraqi’s. Most of them are humans and care about life like the michaels do. So if he wants to wipe out all of them, then me and my Army buddies are coming after michael. What an idiot!

  51. Iraq war veteran Says:

    michael, I have been back in the states for a month now. And in that time, I have noticed that the leftys at several sites have supported our soldiers and the injured vets. The republicans haven’t. They talk about supporting the war but don’t say things that make me believe that they support the troops.

    michael, I don’t know if you are a vet or not, but it might help you to know that most of the soldiers believe that we are there to help the Iraqi’s (Blackwater not included). We see the horror of this war and most of us do not believe that we should be fighting there. To be honest, we don’t exactly know who we are fighting anymore. Just the insurgents, not what we would consider terrorists.


  52. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    Well your post just explains Chimpy’s inexplicable environmental policy, doesn’t it, Adolph.

    1. Clean Air Act = ‘voluntary’ pollution limits
    2. Superfund = superunderfunded

    So the liberals who are complaining about the lack of sacrifice are looking in the wrong place, Chimpy is going gangbusters on the climate change thing, because he thinks that Amurka is going to win out over the ‘fuzzy-wuzzies’ in the climate change game. That’s clever stuff, Adolph.

    Shame though, using ‘the Google’ I tried ‘climate change benefits US’ and couldn’t get any good hits….. maybe you should tell him, he’ll believe you.

    How’s your weather story coming along?

    I guess they couldn’t get the whole message on, which is ‘Support our Troops by shutting up and not asking questions’. The Chinese are good sports, they’ll make any kind of plastic dog-shite Amurkans need, I don’t see why they can’t make a bigger car magnet.

    First off, yes I am a vet. U.S. Navy, 1965 - 1971. Your statement that most of you do not believe that you should be fighting this war is not supported by fact. If that is your belief, then you will find very good company with these loser liberals on this blog and I’m sorry that you don’t understand what this fighting is all about.

  65. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    mikey, I sense you are seeking some uplifting prose to express yourself with. I know you can draw a few pictures, but when you get to high school, they’ll teach you to argue like this:

    “We swear we are not going to abandon the struggle until the Last Jew in Europe has been exterminated and is actually dead. It is not enough to isolate the Jewish enemy of mankind-the Jew has got to be exterminated.” (Trial of the Major War Criminals Before the International Military Tribunal, Vol.3, Nuremberg, 1947, p. 36)

    Impressive stuff, eh? I’m sure that if you did a search and replace for Jew and Muslim, you’d be well on your way - don’t tell your teacher I told you, please.

    Are you related to a Jewish relative who lived in Europe in the 1930’s? Muslims have been inhabiting the west for the last 1000 years. Coincidence? Plan? It’s no secret that the radicals, and it’s hard for anyone to deny that the muslims who live in say France aren’t radicals, want to convert the infidels or kill them! They are everywhere. In Europe they are out of control and have openly said they want to convert their governments to Islam. Have you forgotten the riots in France? You haven’t seen anything yet! And now you idiots want to make one of them President of The United States. And what did he promise yesterday? Double the money we send to countries like Africa, a nest for Al Quaida. Are you people really this stupid?

    I understand what you Europeans are going through with the Muslims being everywhere and taking over. We have the same problem here in the USA with the Christians. They want to convert us or kill us. And they have openly said that they want to take over our Government and want to dump our Constitution and replace it with the ten commandments. And we even voted one of them into office! What asshattery! Unfortunatly we don’t have an army around to keep them in check. So I do understand why you Europeans are so worried about Muslims.

    #84 Yeah, Mikey. You are the master of backing up your statements. Put up or shut up, Gomer.

    “michael, you are a racist pig. That paragraph could have been written by a German about Jews in the 30’s, or a southern man about blacks back in the 50’s and 60’s. You are a threat to any American who isn’t white.

    Very easy to print those words but the real challenge is backing them up which I know you can’t do!

    Mikey, you are like that kid that everybody is embarassed to look at on the off-chance (ok, not such an off-chance) that you are picking your nose and eating it. You are embarassing.

    Worse than that. They kill Doctors and people who are gay. They hate our freedom and want to take over our country. And they’ve been known to invade entire countrys and kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people! It is a real plague here. I’m glad you’re here to share our concern about our countries. Good Luck over there in Europe.

    mikey, we’ll be covering the World and the Countries in first grade. Please make sure you buy one of those inflatable worlds in the summer vacation - don’t worry, everyone has a hard time - I always get the Baltic States in the wrong order….:)

    Are you related to a Jewish relative who lived in Europe in the 1930’s?
    Comment by michael — April 24, 2007 @ 11:55 pm

    Worse michael. My Brother was on the USS Liberty. You said you were in the US Navy about this time. Did you hear about this? Do you know who did it?


  93. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    mikey, madder than hell is about to give you today’s history lesson - one which you won’t learn in any (Amurkan) school. You could try ‘the Google’ and bone up on it…..

    Time for michael to disappear — POOF!


  95. JPark Says:

    Aww, is it madder’s turn to give Mikey the a$$kicking of the day? Why does he still come here? Just pay a dominatrix, it is more private.

    Of course I will but you will have to challenge me on specifics, if you can?

    You are not the first dopey liberal on this blog who has made stupid remarks about me without backing them up and I suspect you won’t be the last dope!


  98. JPark Says:

    #97 You are right!!! You have never actually taken a stand so you win. Wimp.


  99. JPark Says:

    #98 And yet you still embarass yourself. Do you eat dog food too? I had a friend when I was like 6 that acted like you. He ate dog food.

    I see you are feeling better since you have been tutored on self control. I’m just wondering how long it will last, not that I care because I love seeing liberals making fools of themselves which you have done so often!

    I knew michael wasnt really in the Navy. I was in during 1966-1970 and EVERY Navy sailor heard about this. I knew he was lying.
    michael, google this before you make a fool of yourself!

    Dude, you must be working on your weather story - that’s the only reason I can think of for you not answering Mr hell’s questions…? Go on, show us you can use ‘the google’ - there’ll be a test and jiffy pops for the top five later…

    Is that the most intelligent response you can come up with? How old are you? 16? I hate wasting my time with idiots, but then why am I on this blog?


  105. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    Oops, paland just made the top five mikey…… clock’s ticking….


  106. muckdog Says:

    Scientist, climatologist, and former rock star, Doctor Sheryl Crow has found a solution for global warming. If we only use one square of toilet tissue “per sitting,” then we can prevent the cataclysm due to the folly of those who use more than one square of toilet tissue.

    These people who use more than one square of toilet tissue per sitting are the true terrorists.

    Ain’t that right, Dr. Crow?

    LOL.

    WHAT A BUNCH OF FLIPPIN GOOFBALLS.


  107. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    Er, Cartoonnetwork crashed again?


  108. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    mikey, is your big sister coming to beat us up tonight?


  109. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    The curious, mikey might make the cut, but I doubt it, would read about the history of the USS Liberty in the Six-Day War and wonder just how much of an ally Israel really was…..or perhaps is….hyperbole yes, but history, undoubtedly and like mr mikey, Amurkans who ignore their history, will repeat it…..or find it repeated upon them….

    Again, get a dominatrix, she will beat the crap out of you just right.


  113. Lee Says:

    Republicans deny climate change/global warming because of the chance of it cutting into their earnings percentage.


  114. RAL Says:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr5O1HsTVgA

    People die all the time from natural disasters, just like this one - climate change - of which there IS STILL NO PROOF THAT IT IS A MAN-MADE PROBLEM.

    I have to say that this issue has become the most effective case of “divide and conquer” that I have EVER seen in my life.


  115. GentleWhoadie9000 Says:

    This is a pretty irresponsible post- not because it’s based on anything inaccurate, but it doesn’t present the article as speculation in any way. Also, it’s sensationalistic.

    I’m an ecologist, and I wrote a response to this post over at my blog, which you should take a look at because it actually breaks down the claim rather than merely shouting “EMERGENCY” and “CONSPIRACY” across a table.


  116. Not Canadian Says:

    GUARANTEED, that the whiny, hot-air bag trolls here have contributed NOTHING to our fighting servicemen/women.

    Personally, we’ve sent toiletries, magazines, food, etc.

    WHAT THE FCUK HAVE ANY OF YOU DONE?????

    Talkin’ loud ain’t saying nothin, bitches.


  117. Chocolate Jesus Says:

    hey muckdog, are you going to give us some more brilliant sources for your brave global warming denials.. i mean the only people who beleive in globale warming are commie lefties like the pentagon…]

    http://observer.guardian.co.uk/ international/ story/ 0,6903,1153513,00.html

    Now the Pentagon tells Bush: climate change will destroy us
    · Secret report warns of rioting and nuclear war
    · Britain will be ‘Siberian’ in less than 20 years
    · Threat to the world is greater than terrorism
    Climate change ’should be elevated beyond a scientific debate to a US national security concern’, say the authors, Peter Schwartz, CIA consultant and former head of planning at Royal Dutch/Shell Group, and Doug Randall of the California-based Global Business Network.

    oh, and not like it really matters in the scheme of things, but the toilet paper thing was a joke.. however when sheryl dared lay a finger on the pudgy pig beast antichrist rove, it immediately became the source of a smear campaign because they had nothing else…

  118. Judy Says:

    Maybe the the pudgy pig beast antichrist Rove had heard about Crow’s toilet paper “joke” and that’s why he didn’t want her touching him.
