The devastating toll of 16,500 climate-related deaths across European cities this summer proves that fossil fuel emissions are literally killing people right now, not in some distant future. These aren't abstract statistics but real human lives lost because governments and corporations continue prioritizing short-term profits over urgent climate action.
Climate alarmism about heatwaves is a distraction from practical policy solutions. Temperature fatalities are largely caused by cold — a fact often lost in a climate activist framing that has emissions slashing as its underlying agenda.
There is a 50% chance that global warming will be at least 3.16 degrees Celsius by 2100, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
