Climate change will kill 14.5 million people globally by 2050 — but mostly not directly

Climate change is triggering a global health crisis that may approach the death toll of some of history’s deadliest plagues. Unlike the 1918 flu epidemic or the COVID-19 pandemic, which were caused by the widespread outbreak of one type of bacteria or virus, climate change-fueled illness is a Hydra-headed challenge that erodes human health on multiple distinct fronts. Efforts are underway to tally this risk, and a growing body of research indicates that climate-related health threats, such as cardiovascular, diarrheal, and vector-borne diseases, have already killed millions of people — a count that will grow steeper as warming accelerates.

A recent report from the World Economic Forum, a non-governmental organization that promotes public-private partnership on global issues, and Oliver Wyman, a consulting firm, projects that rising temperatures will “place immense strain on global healthcare systems” in the coming years. Climate change will cause 14.5 million additional deaths by 2050, the report says, and spur $12.5 trillion in economic losses. Healthcare systems — hospitals, emergency rooms, doctors, and nurses — will also have to provide an extra $1.1 trillion worth of treatment by mid-century because of climate change.  (snip)

In total, the report identified six weather events most likely to trigger negative health outcomes: floods, droughts, wildfires, sea-level rise, tropical storms, and heat waves. The authors examined the direct and indirect effects of each of these events.

But, see, they won’t be able to directly blame these on Atmospheric Cancer, so, they’ll just decide to blame most deaths on “carbon pollution”, much like they were blaming a lot of deaths on COVID even though it was something like a guy who died in a motorcycle accident being listed as a COVID death because he had it. You died because a hurricane happened, which always have happened? You refused to evacuate and get out of the way? That was because of ‘climate change’. You were skiing in an avalanche prone area and died in one? Global boiling. It’s a long article that says they will blame anything they can on anthropogenic climate change.
