☑ There is no evidence to support long-covid as a cause of excess deaths.About Norman Fenton
☑ There is weak evidence of the negative effect of lockdown measures.
☑ Healthcare quality looks to be irrelevant, but "we are not satisfied we have good metrics for this."
☑ "Clearly the surge in Covid-19 and its effect on excess deaths shows the vaccines are not effective. This looks self-evident and this isn’t news."
☑ There is a clear signal that the vaccination program is causing at least some of the excess death rate. With this data, the vaccines don’t look to be safe.
This claim is believed to be true by a number of climate experts, with others saying the data cannot support such conjectures.The UN cites these stats:
This figure is not as clear-cut as it might seem. But even if the figure is accurate, it is well within the range of routine global climate swings that have occurred in the last millenium.✓ Oceans have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished and sea level has risen. From 1901 to 2010, the global average sea level rose by 19 cm as oceans expanded. The Arctic’s sea ice extent has shrunk in every successive decade since 1979.
But sea ice records are in general hazy from before the 1970s, a decade noted as unusually cold for North America.✓ Global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) have increased by almost 50 percent since 1990.
At 421 parts per million, CO2 is now 50 percent higher than at pre-industrial levels, according to Scripps Institute and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Institute scientists. We see what looks to be a substantial discrepancy in the UN and U.S. expert figures.✓ Emissions grew more quickly between 2000 and 2010 than in each of the three previous decades
CO2 jumped 50% between now and 1990 or now and the 18th Century?
According to NOAA and Scripps, "Prior to the Industrial Revolution, CO2 levels were consistently around 280 ppm for almost 6,000 years of human civilization. Since then, humans have generated an estimated 1.5 trillion tons of CO2 pollution, much of which will continue to warm the atmosphere for thousands of years."Not all climatologists agree that CO2 is a true pollutant. Nor do they agree that more and more CO2 means more and more warming, with at least one prominent expert arguing that CO2 affects atmospheric temperature following a law of diminishing returns.
How is this to be done?✓ Target 13.2: Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning
What climate change measures should be adopted?✓ Target 13.3: Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning ✓Target 13.a: Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to a goal of mobilizing jointly $100 billion annually by 2020 from all sources to address the needs of developing countries in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation and fully operationalize the Green Climate Fund through its capitalization as soon as possible.
Does this mean depriving under-developed countries of fossil fuels in such a way as the cost-benefit analyses imply great suffering for these populations?✓ Target 13.b: Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in least developed countries and small island developing States, including focusing on women, youth and local and marginalized communities.
