Another unbelievable horror story for climate activists and the members of the climate church.

From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

Even by the i’s standards, this really is a load of unbelievable twaddle:

So just what are these profound ways?

Mental Health

Apparently:

“Experiencing the effects of climate change first-hand, for example by a flooding event, directly raises the risk of experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression or low mood, and extreme distress.

“People with mental illness are also more vulnerable to impacts of the changing climate, such as high temperatures, which worsen their physical as well as mental health. Damage to infrastructure and supply chains arising from climate change impacts also risk disrupting the provision of mental healthcare.”

The only mental health issues are the direct result of climate scaremongering, fed to a gullible, mainly young public by the media.

Unintentional Injury and Accidents

The ONS have long stated that warm weather tends to increase these injuries, for the simple reason that people go outdoors more for leisure and sports activities, which is obviously a good thing.

Productivity

“Heat typically leads to a reduction in work intensity or an increase in breaks, according to a report prepared for the Climate Change Committee”

I suspect cold weather has a much greater effect on productivity, not least when people cannot get to work because of snowbound roads.

And if warm weather reduces productivity, then the north of England must be more productive than the south – something which is self evidently absurd.

Heat Deaths

“More than 4,500 people died in England in 2022 due to high temperatures, the largest figure on record, with the number of heat-related deaths increasing over recent years, the ONS said last month.”

On the contrary, 4500 people did not die due to high temperatures last summer; as the ONS has previously stated, these deaths were merely displaced, brought forward a few days.

Every year, mortalities in England are at their lowest in summer months.

Sleep

“overheating was found to reduce good sleep by one or two hours “

There is nothing new in warm sleepless nights; we’ve always suffered from them in summer. That’s why most now have fans and cheap water coolers.

Food

A report on food prices in 2022 by the Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit research group found that extra costs relating to climate change added £170 a year to the average UK household food bill – representing 37 per cent of food inflation.

The cost of making a chicken tikka masala has rocketed by 17 per cent in a year – and it’s largely the fault of climate change, according to a separate new analysis, by ECIU for the climate change charity Round Our Way.

This finds that the cost to an average family of four of producing ‘the nation’s favourite dish’ has shot up by £3.67 in the past year as prices of key ingredients have jumped. Supermarket canned tomato prices has risen by 32 per cent over the period, while onions are up 26 per cent and cooking oil by 38 per cent.

Whatever is causing food price increases, it most certainly is not climate change, as year by year food output continues to hit new records.

They also claim:

A report from the government’s climate change advisor, Committee on Climate Change, finds that, according to UK businesses, “extreme weather is already a significant source of supply chain disruption”

The study gave UK wheat yields as an example.

Wheat yields in 2020 (9.7 million tonnes) were the lowest since 1981.

The CCC can’t even get its facts right, as wheat yields were lower in 2012, and several other years since 1981. Large swings from year to year are perfectly common, but much more important is the fact that the long term trend is up:

Football

There is not yet enough data to know how the number of football matches cancelled in the UK due to climate change-induced extreme weather has changed over time, but there is a growing body of anecdotal evidence that the situation is getting worse.

At the same time, there are many scientific studies saying that extreme weather is increasing – and that this is as a result of climate change.”

In other words, there’s no evidence, but we think it must be getting worse anyway!

Most football matches are cancelled because of ice and snow, not a spell of warm weather.

In fact, anybody born in the last thirty years would no even be aware of any “climate change”. Any changes have been so small as to be invisible against the background of daily variability:

Do the i’s readers actually believe this gibberish?
