Global Warming Leads to 150,000 Deaths Every Year
Thursday February 28, 2008
Along with posing serious future threats to human health, global warming currently contributes to more than 150,000 deaths and 5 million illnesses every year, according to the World Health Organization and the University of Wisconsin at Madison. And those numbers could double by 2030 as global warming accelerates the spread of infectious diseases, increases malnutrition, and accounts for more heat waves and floods.

Pure BS. Malaria has increased because the tree-huggers got DDT outlawed. Many more people die of cold than heat every year. The UN & the U of W are well known socialist organizations spreading propaganda. Yes, deaths will double by 2030 because the population will double.
guido is right. The Left is responsible for more deaths from malaria than global warming. Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring led the hysteria over DDT that contributed to banning the pesticide. That contributed to about 50 million deaths by malaria. But that won’t matter to the Left, because they meant well.
