New research published in Lancet concludes that cold is much more deadly than heat. It follows that modest warming, such as the world has experienced in the recent past, would save lives. Research Shows Cold Far More Deadly Than Heat, 10 Times More In Brazil, 20 Times More In South Africa By P Gosselin on 1. December 2021 Share this... More warming would save lives A new, comprehensive Lancet study shows that far more people are being killed globally by cold weather than by hot weather. Die kalte Sonne here looks at the impacts of temperature extremes on mortality. There’s no doubt that extreme weather kills more people. But the question in these times of “global warming” is whether or not warming is going to lead to more deaths. A new publication in the renowned journal Lancet, by Burkart et al studied 65 million deaths in 9 countries occurring between Jan 1, 1980, and Dec 31, 2016 in relation to temperature effects. . . .
It is so obvious why Cold is far more deadly. Temperature difference with the human body (Example Human 98F to weather 32F a 66F difference) Flues and colds far more common in cold part of the year for various reasons such as people stay indoors a lot longer and more often. Low sunlight levels greatly diminish Vitamin D production. Weather based stress from very low or excessive humidity effects to snow and ice on the human body.
The impact cold vs. heat has on people's bodies is not the same as the impact that would be made on the planet Earth.
