Strokes could increase as climate changes, researchers say
Climate change could make strokes more common.
That’s the conclusion of an international panel of experts that reviewed almost 200 scientific publications assessing the link between strokes and global warming. Stroke risk increases with temperature extremes, as well as with exposure to wildfire smoke, dust and sandstorms, according to a World Stroke Organization study recently published in the International Journal of Stroke.
“This is happening right now, all the time,” said Anna Ranta, an academic stroke neurologist at the University of Otago in New Zealand who led the research. The uptick in strokes disproportionately impacts low- and middle-income countries around the equator. “I think high income countries haven’t seen the impacts, and I think that’s why we don’t have that visibility.”
“Could.” Is it or is it not? They’re saying it’s happening right now, but, of course, only in those Other Countries. Not the 1st World countries. Trust them. The rest is locked behind a pretty strict paywall
Erdogan Warns Climate Change Poses Global Threat Comparable to Wars and Pandemics
Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that climate change represents a serious threat to humanity, saying its consequences are comparable to global wars and pandemics.
Speaking in Istanbul on Sunday, June 7, Erdogan said climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges facing humanity today.
He added that the world is currently in an era where new technologies and artificial intelligence are accelerating production, but uncontrolled and excessive consumption is placing significant pressure on nature.
The Turkish president also referred to his country’s environmental initiatives, noting that the “Zero Waste” movement has become a global initiative and has been recognized by the United Nations.
He’s pretty late to the party of trying to use the scam to get more money out of the peasants and control their lives, eh?
Mr Teach should have read the actual review article… Can you see why?

Results:
Most of the included studies were based on ecological designs. Cold exposure, temperature variability, and extreme thermal events were most consistently associated with increased stroke risk. Although cold effects were generally stronger than heat effects, heat effects have been increasing over time. Increased stroke incidence was also associated with low or varying barometric pressure, rapid humidity shifts, and exposure to wildfire smoke, dust, and sandstorms, particularly among older adults and those in low- and middle-income countries. Compound weather events, such as concurrent heat and humidity extremes, showed additive or synergistic effects on stroke incidence and mortality. Despite heterogeneity in definitions and methods and most evidence supporting associations rather than proving causation, the overall direction of evidence across exposures was positive, coherent, and biologically plausible.
For heavens sake Elwood, the article leads with “could.”
Heck, I could win the Lotto.
You could cease being dumb.
Uh, no. I could win the lotto. But you can’t cease being dumb until you realize that “could”
