I’ve mentioned before that the Cult of Climastrology is really ramping up their scaremongering on health concerns from global boiling
Twenty countries ask EU to prepare for climate change health hazards
A large majority of European Union countries want stronger EU action to prepare for the health consequences of climate change and global warming’s potential to spread vector-borne diseases, a document seen by Reuters showed.
Europe is experiencing severe health impacts as a result of the changing climate. Around 61,000 people are estimated to have died in sweltering European heatwaves last summer, suggesting countries’ heat preparedness efforts are falling well short.
In a joint paper, 20 of the EU’s 27 member countries including Croatia, Germany, Greece, Malta and the Netherlands, have urged the EU to increase its surveillance of the threats to health and healthcare systems posed by extreme weather, to help countries prepare.
The EU should also draft plans for infections of zoonotic and climate-sensitive vector-borne diseases, and strengthen its early warning and response system for if disease-spreading vectors are detected, the countries said.
“Unless proactive measures are taken, it is a matter of time before certain preventable infectious diseases, which are currently more prevalent in other regions, become increasingly common occurrences within the EU,” the paper said.
It was also backed by Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Portugal, Romania and Slovenia.
They really want to use health concerns to implement controls on people’s lives. And since so many EU nations have government health care systems, why not use them? It’s easy. And easy for the climate cult to infiltrate and control. Use them to scare people. We saw this with COVID. Do not want to comply? Well, here’s some aspirin instead of a knee replacement.
Our esteemed host asked:
It’s simple: if the overall EU government takes these measures, the individual national governments are absolved of responsibility, and their politicians can all say, “Well, it wasn’t my responsibility; I couldn’t do anything about it,” when the EU imposes draconian controls and expenses on the public.
Our English brethren were smart when they got out of that abysmal EU.
Now if only Florida can get out of the US.
If only…
from the piece:
Many of the deceased were no doubt poor, so possibly a net benefit for Europe, right? Conservative SciDs prefer that the poor, likely to receive government benefits and more likely to commit crimes, die.
Is that why SciDs oppose actions on global warming? It kills leeches and sponges?
Dear Chicken Little:
Around 61,000 people are estimated to have died in sweltering European heatwaves last summer,
Pure bullshit.
So tell us. What was the disease?
Cap’n Shit for Brains,
I didn’t claim they died. Mr Teach supplied the information.
Are you asking why people die in extreme heatwaves, Cap’n? Heat stroke? Dehydration with hypotension? How do these events kill people? Typically by multi-organ failure (a result of heightened systemic inflammation triggered decreased blood flow to organs), heart attacks from increased burden on heart to keep blood pressure and organ perfusion up, and kidney failure (fluid depletion and reduced perfusion).
As you may have heard Cap’n, “normal” body temperature in humans is ~98.6F. We humans regulate our temperature by perspiring. As the water in perspiration evaporates it cools the skin which cools the blood which cools the organs!! High temperatures and high humidity reduces the efficiency of the perspiration system.
These effects are even worse for the old and infirm. The longer the heat wave the more likely that people will cross the threshold to organ failure.
If you wish to dig deeper in how extreme heat kills people we can discuss further.
Cold still kills about 8 times what heat does worldwide. Warming actually saves lives
Really? Do you have “proof”?
Sure-The Lancet “Climate and Health: Mortality attributed to heat and cold”. Keith Dear and Zhan Wang. Published May 20th, 2015..
This study actually found cold kills more than heat by a factor of almost 20.
Dear Chicken Little:
So you don’t mention disease. You mention people too uneducated and/or stupid to not:
Drink plenty of water. Reduce activities. Wear loose fitting clothing. Wear a hat with a wide brim to provide shade for the head and shoulder. Don’t over eat.
That reduces heat stroke.
CL, I’m over 85 and was raised on a farm and we, and no one we knew, had air conditioning. That was reserved for the local movie house and drug store who had “Refrigeration” I was 24, married and living in Memphis before I could afford a window AC.
What you are doing is attempting to sow fear among us. Yes. That’s what Chicken Little’s do.
BTW – To be effective, nick names should reflect some characteristics of the individual that can be noted by everyone. Tossing out just a mundane vulgar expression demonstrates a lack of intelligence.
Cap’n Shit for Brains,
I’m on your side, but what you are doing is sowing ignorance among us. That’s what a Shit for Brains does. Anyway, if the heat + humidity reaches a certain level, perspiring does not adequately cool some people, even if they drink water, wear loose clothing, rest and wear a hat.
You SHOULD be concerned about global warming, if not for yourself, than for future generations. You disagree with that.
We’re encouraged that calling you Shit for Brains irks you, Shit for Brains. If you don’t like being referenced as Shit for Brains, you know the remedy. Have you persuaded yourself that you’re responding intelligently?
Dear Chicken Little
The actions I noted will keep you from reaching that “level.”
You know people lived for years in hot weather. They can do it now….and even in the future.
Dear Chicken Little
“We’re encouraged that calling you Shit for Brains irks you, Shit for Brains. If you don’t like being referenced as Shit for Brains”
You may call me whatever and I apologize for trying to explain to you how nicknames work.
Remaining ignorant becomes you.
Residents of that shit hole New York City can expect to live over 83 years
Tell us what the longevity is in those wonderful red states!
Yes Johnny-the longevity is wonderful. As CO2 emissions have risen, so have life spans.
Jill,
Are you suggesting that CO2 increases life spans? LOL.
I’m suggesting that as CO2 went up, life spans went up, as I said. Obviously any negative effect from CO2 in that respect hasn’t been seen
About the same as anywhere else in the United states why? Are you under some sort of a belief that as soon as you walk out of New York City you’re in a third world country? You think people in red states don’t get American style medical treatment?
What does New York CITY have to do with red states? You are one of the most ignorant people that comments here. You are so self enamored and so in love with your blue states that you forget that all kinds of people live in all kinds of states the blue states have Republicans too just so you know. Man are you ignorant.
