WHO-fake climate alarmism

Fake news doesn't just come from foreign enemies Friday, WHO claimed that 175,000 Europeans died from extreme heat I pointed out that was untrue, almost 4x exaggerated Saturday morning, WHO admitted this in the smallest possible way — they simply changed their website (and address) and had some online publications delete "extreme" But, of course, by then the story had already made its intended impact across the world WHO believes "Climate change is the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century" — which is just laughable and one of the reasons it was caught off-guard by Covid This belief colors the 'findings' of WHO. In their Friday statement, the WHO Europe director explicitly worries about the "climate crisis" and expressed his support for climate action costing $1,000s of trillions (1.5oC target), so he obviously would like a dramatic and large number to make it around the world Summary: WHO told us extreme heat kills 175K+, a number they've now admitted is almost 4x exaggerated. And they don't tell you that cold deaths at 657K are almost 4x bigger than all heat deaths. This is not informing you well Journalists have to realize that when e.g. WHO says something, it also needs to be fact-checked Friday claim: https://web.archive.org/web/20240802065600/https://www.who.int/europe/news/item/01-08-2024-statement---extreme-heat-claims-more-than-175-000-lives-annually-in-the-who-european-region--with-numbers-set-to-soar… Saturday update: https://who.int/europe/news/item/01-08-2024-statement--heat-claims-more-than-175-000-lives-annually-in-the-who-european-region--with-numbers-set-to-soar… My tweet to ask for correction (which the director hasn't replied to): https://x.com/BjornLomborg/status/1819057334913585178… The actual problem put in context: https://x.com/BjornLomborg/status/1819051670363410735… WHO climate biggest challenge: https://web.archive.org/web/2015100811

Award-winning journalist Alex Newman provides a PERFECT summary of the climate scam, in under two minutes: "The notion that CO2 is pollution is absolutely preposterous... The idea that [it's] going to destroy the planet or change the temperature of the Earth is totally ludicrous." "But from a totalitarian perspective, if you can convince people that CO2 is pollution, there's no human activity that doesn't result in CO2 emissions, including living, including dying, turning on a light switch." "Every single aspect of your life, then, if we submit to the idea that CO2 is pollution, then comes under the regulatory control of the people who claim to be saving us from pollution." Credit:
