37% and rising. Climate change isn't just an abstract scientific concept, it's starting to kill people. The giveaway that it is manmade climate change is that the increasing rate of heat death is occurring independently across all continents, in parallel with the increasing rate of extreme weather events all across the globe.
Climate change deniers, by spreading disinformation, are complicit in a small way in these deaths.
Blame the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, it decides if we have dry, hot, wet or cold weather. And don't try and blame human activity and climate change for it.
Climate-change is definitely real. Not sure about the death statistic, but I'm a 40 year old in good shape (run/exercise daily, eat healthy) and I made the mistake of spending a good portion of the day outdoors last month on a rare mid-90s humid day without proper hydration, and man did I pay the price! Was dehydrated and my whole body was in pain for almost 3 days. Had to constantly drink water for those 3 days and was super lethargic. Definitely had a mini-heat stroke. If I was not in good shape, I could have been a part of those statistics.
Everyone should avoid being outdoors for long periods when it is super hot and humid. Drink plenty of liquids. Heat-related incidents can be deadly.

Understandable. Many of the same people who reject climate science reject medical science, refuse the vaccine, believe we are poisoned by chemtrails, Jewish laser beams, and the Jan 6 insurrection was an FBI false flag.
Just wait till we say no dice to California when they come begging for water from the Great Lakes. Yes, Climate Change is real and California is really screwed.
If I say so? I didn't write the journal article. Oh, and you're not going to get published in Nature unless it passes muster for academic integrity and proper scientific analysis.
Carbon tax. If every good sold in the U.S. included a carbon tax based on how it's transported, Chinese goods would have a high carbon tax because container ships consume huge amounts of the dirtiest diesel oil there is. Domestically made goods that are transported short distances, especially by electric or hybrid trucks, would pay very little carbon tax by comparison.
A transportation carbon tax would encourage more domestic production and discourage the importation of Chinese-made goods while reducing. Which is what conservatives want, isn't it?
Elliot, if you are a true believer then you need to start at home first. Your own home. Your life.
You are using a computer. A computer destroys the planet in its creation and its use. Stop using it.
Do you walk everywhere? Using any form of transportation other than walking destroys the planet in its creation and its use. Stop using them. Walk instead.
Do you live in an existing cave? All types of housing destroy the planet in its creation and its use. Stop using them. Live in a cave instead.
You are using electricity. All types of power destroy the planet in its creation. Stop using it. Go without power for the greater good.
Do you eat? All growing and eating of food destroys the planet in its creation and its processing through the body and waste. Stop eating. Go without food for the greater good.
See, here is the thing Elliot. Our existence in any form is a negative on the planet in some way. The only way to not be a negative on the planet is to not exist.
Are you willing to go that far? Are you willing to self terminate?
If not, why are you willing to destroy the planet to a level you are comfortable with, but at the same time demonize others?
You are hypocritical.
