If I say so? I didn't write the journal article. Oh, and you're not going to get published in Natureunless 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. Which is what conservatives want, isn't it?
Some muster...it's a simulation with hypothetical cities and simulated temperatures.
See post #7...I clicked on the links in that article and even posted their summary.

For projected future deaths, yes. For current deaths, no. "Here, we use empirical data from 732 locations in 43 countries"
Someone needs to shut down the Icelandic volcano.
It's spewing out 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide a day.
Volcanoes are more or less climate neutral because in addition to CO2 they also emit a lot of particulates and sulfur dioxide, which contributes to global cooling. The massive volcanic eruption at Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815 caused the "Year Without A Summer" in 1816 because the suspended ash cloud circled the globe and reflected sunlight back into space.
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.

Well there is no "empirical data" in their summary....
So maybe you can produce a link to the data that is the 732 locations in 43 countries for us.....

This code has been implemented to reproduce the main analysis applied in the study referenced above. It uses temperature-mortality data of 10 hypothetical cities and the corresponding simulated temperature for 10 models defining the two scenarios.
The analysis is divided in three stages: (1) 1st stage analysis (time-series analysis), (2) Meta-regression (to extract the BLUPs and MMTs), (3) Quantification of impacts under the two scenarios (factual / counterfactual)
Except science has proven climate change is not manmade.
Science has shown the planet has cooled and heated to extreme levels multiple times over its existence, well before mankind.
How self absorbed and egotistical mankind must be to think he/she/they/them/it/freak/mentally ill can actually be stronger and more powerful than the planet.
