You have said: "We are likely to see more heat waves afflicting our
cities ..."
The facts about "heat waves" are that they can and do occur naturally,
and that their frequency is likely to diminish during periods of global
cooling, such as the last seven years.
Studies of deaths caused by heat waves in Texas and Mexico, which have
identical (and hot) climates, show that heat-induced deaths are a
function not so much of temperature as of the economic capacity and
administrative and medical skill that are available. A heatwave in
Mexico can kill thousands: the same heatwave in Texas will kill no one.
The United States has the necessary economic strength (which your
proposals for shutting down three-fifths of the economy would of course
put at risk). And it has the administrative and medical ability.
Consequently, it has learned how to deal with heat waves so as to
prevent deaths.
Therefore there is no scientific basis for saying or implying that
anthropogenic "global warming" is or may become the principal cause of
death from heat waves.
It is lack of economic and social development that causes deaths from
heat waves.

". none of the climate states in the models correspond even remotely to
the current observed climate. In particular, the state of the oceans,
sea ice, and soil moisture has no relationship to the observed state at
any recent time in any of the IPCC models." Kevin Trenberth, IPCC

ROFL So, heat waves can>t be caused by AGW because we can handle heat
waves. You are really dumb enough to fall for that non sequitur? lol |
