Objectively, most of the Earth is much too cold. That's why scientists call the periods of warmest climate "Climate Optimums" — because they're BETTER than colder periods. Cold kills far more people than heat does. Here's a paper: thelancet.com/journals/lance twitter.com/ncdave4life/st

Mortality risk attributable to high and low ambient temperature: a multicountry observational study

Most of the temperature-related mortality burden was attributable to the contribution of cold. The effect of days of extreme temperature was substantially less than that attributable to milder but...

10/ Even at low latitudes cold kills more people than heat does. But at high latitudes the disparity is enormous. This is for the UK: sealevel.info/Gasparrini2022

The advantages of elevated CO2 for agriculture are even more important. Rising CO2 levels have raised global crop yields by at least 20%, and helped mitigate drought risks, which greatly improves global food security. sealevel.info/learnmore.html

The best scientific evidence shows that CO2 emissions are beneficial, rather than harmful. Here are some studies: sealevel.info/negative_socia

Studies show that the 'social cost of carbon' is negative, and CO2 emissions are net-beneficial,...

Unfortunately, Bill McKibben makes his living in the Climate Business, so he's unreceptive to that good news. sealevel.info/who_thinks_ghg

If we didn't have the better crop yields we get thanks to rising CO2 levels, we could make up the difference by putting more land under the plow. Using ALL the Earth's rainforests for agriculture would nearly suffice. twitter.com/ncdave4life/st

NE China is living the harshest heat wave in its history by far. Beijing and Tianjin had 3 consecutive days >40C, before they never had 2 consecutive 40C. Mongolia highlands again above 38C. Records fall by dozens every day and it will get worse. Weeks of record heat is ahead.
