The Worlds largest study of global climate related deaths every year to abnormal temperatures has been done by Monash University in Australia, the study used 43 countries’ baseline data across five continents with different climates, socioeconomic and demographic conditions and differing levels of infrastructure and public health services – so the study had a large and varied sample size, unlike previous studies.

It found 9.43 per cent of global deaths could be attributed to cold and hot temperatures. This equates to 74 excess deaths for every 100,000 people, with most deaths caused by cold exposure.
Importantly, cold-related death decreased 0.51 per cent from 2000 to 2019, while heat-related death increased 0.21 per cent, leading to a reduction in net mortality due both to cold and hot temperatures.

Maybe John Kerry the US Climate envoy recently at the WEF forum should have referenced this data rather than preach in his Evangelical fashion that "10 million people are dying annually from the heat" – a statistic that he used to illustrate the urgency of action in what he referred to as the world’s hottest year ever.

I find it shocking to hear the US climate envoy appear to give such a misleading impression of what the evidence tells us on heat-related deaths.

Does he get sanctioned for his propaganda and fake news? nope he jets off to his next speech on his wife's private jet, a Gulfstream GIV-SP, which has made 48 trips lasting more than 60 hours and released an estimated 715,886 pounds — or 325 metric tons — of carbon dioxide since Biden entered the White House in January 2021.

To put this in context an average the typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide a year.
