Depressing how climate makes good organizations lose their proportion Medical organizations claim unsupportably that climate biggest public 21st century *health* challenge Just obesity kills 409,000 Americans every year Alcohol kills 88,000 each yearhttps://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/449980-medical-groups-climate-change-greatest-public-health-challenge-21st-century …
Yes, climate change is a problem, but not a catastrophe. UN Climate Panel estimate total impact (not just health) by 2070s equivalent to 0.2-2% reduction in income These smart organizations (like American Medical Organization) should know better. https://climatehealthaction.org/cta/climate-health-equity-policy/ …
Correct air pollution big killer (not 200K+, but 70-100K) but about better regulation of power plants, industrial processes & cars, not more renewables (and even then, much PM2.5 from car tires) weasely/no link to climate https://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/18/15003/2018/ https://climatehealthaction.org/media/cta_docs/US_Call_to_Action.pdf …pic.twitter.com/WQCIsLaAeZ
Arguing catastrophes have caused "thousands of deaths" is weasely — over many years, and nothing compared to 409K deaths/year from obesity (http://ihmeuw.org/4tx0 ) Moreover, it neglects that globally, because of prosperity, deaths from climate declining https://www.facebook.com/bjornlomborg/photos/a.221758208967/10157523426118968/?type=3&theater …pic.twitter.com/LWAILxelIE
And really, heat vs cold? In their climate-obsession, these esteemed medical societies forgot to check the data The US has 24x more cold than heat deaths (extrapolated to 2019, about 5K heat, 207K cold) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412017310346 …pic.twitter.com/fj6IEJVSAu
And even with strong warming *and* adaptation, it is likely that even the future, will see fewer, not more heat/cold deaths http://www.nber.org/papers/w23271 http://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1307524 …pic.twitter.com/tQvNBcC6iL
They look to the future. You look to the past. And please stop talking about GDP. Who cares about GDP? Such a backwards measure.
The unfortunate truth of medicine: It is just scientific enough to be worth capturing, but not scientific enough to resist being captured. Compared to hard sciences/engineering, medicine remains very inexact. Leaves it ripe for ideological capture.
