Stick to health, which you are great at, but stay out of climate. At least you got the magnitudes of cold vs heat deaths correct. Cold is far more dangerous, but climate crazies are always trying to prove the opposite. Severity of weather events is NOT increasing. Many forecasts, no data. By far the most destructed storms, tropical cyclones (hurricanes in our hemisphere) show no increase. Checkout the Colorado State University data on tropical cyclones. I’ve been working on climate for nearly 50 years. It’s incredibly complex, but mostly boring . Slow rises in temp and precipitation don’t grab headlines. ). 0.0i5 degrees C. increase per year is so tiny its tough to measure. Forest fires are growing, but that’s 90% forest management, not climate. Malibu and Pacific Palisades have burned every 5-10 years for centuries. Huge fires occurred there in the 1920’s, 1930’s, and 1940’s, but no one lived there. Ditto floods. Asheville NC had a huge hurricane driven flood in 1916, killing 80 people. Asheville’s 2024 flood was almost identical, just more structures to damage and fewer casualties.
"I’ve been working on climate for nearly 50 years." In what capacity, for whom, and with what credentials? You haven't provided a single citation for your claims, of course, so making vague claims about expertise you almost certainly do not possess would be par for the course.
It is absurd to claim that climate change has no impact on public health in any case.

I had the same reaction to the gratuitous comment about “global warming”. It’s inappropriate and detracts from otherwise good medical advice.
The authorities strongly suspect arson. I guess that qualifies as a type of anthropogenic global warming.
Actually, no, they don't. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-01-12/power-lines-old-embers-arson-investigators-experts-amateur-sleuth-seek-cause-of-l-a-firestorms Here in the real world, where things are more complicated than they are on Fox or Newsmax or wherever, causal factors are harder to sort out in a mess like this and, believe it or not, there might be several of them.
Including arson.

Quote: "Severity of weather events is NOT increasing."
Bullshit.
$100 says you can’t find clear data proving increasing severity on any major weather issue — hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, droughts
$100 says you’re not interested in clear data, only in sealioning.
