class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every morning I like to trawl through the BBC News website, and every morning I manage to catch something suitably fishy. Usually, it is a \u2018news\u2019 item designed to kindle eco-anxiety so that we may more readily accept a domestic heating system that will not work, wheezy cars that many won\u2019t be able to afford, a smart metering system designed to facilitate disconnection from an increasingly unstable electric grid, and an industrialised landscape festooned with bird-munching eyesores that I am reliably informed can farm the wind on those days it dares to pass by. Given how much bullshit has already been expended fertilizing this alarm, you\u2019d think that I would be good and ready by now to hand in my sceptical weaponry as part of the deniers\u2019 amnesty that surely must be just around the corner. But I\u2019m not there yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not that the BBC would ever admit to being alarmist. Nor indeed would such an allegation be accepted by the Met Office or the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). Theirs is not to alarm but merely to alert. Yes, they are nothing more than alertists, and (as of the start of June) their&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/health-65769165\">alertist services<\/a>&nbsp;have been extended to warn us of that thermal hell we used to call summer. Appropriately, the alarm levels \u2013 sorry, alert levels \u2013 are painted with the palette of control:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><mark>Green<\/mark>&nbsp;\u2013 Nothing to see here, move on<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark>Yellow<\/mark>&nbsp;\u2013 If you are at death\u2019s door then the heat may give you a helpful push<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark>Amber<\/mark>&nbsp;\u2013 So hot that even the woke yoof may start wilting and the papers will start proclaiming \u2018Hotter than Madrid\u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark>Red<\/mark>&nbsp;\u2013 We\u2019re all going to die<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All very helpful, I\u2019m sure you will agree. And all very necessary says the BBC because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Will Lang, from the Met Office, said the effects of human-induced climate change were already being felt on UK summers \u201ewith an increase in the frequency, duration, and intensity of extreme heat events over recent decades\u201c. The health alerts would help save lives, protect property and the economy \u201eas we all work to tackle adverse weather and climate change\u201c, he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said that then, did he? Okay, but I wonder what the Office of National Statistics has been saying recently on this subject. Well, it just so happens that this is the very sort of thing that it has been collecting data on and it has published its findings in a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/peoplepopulationandcommunity\/birthsdeathsandmarriages\/deaths\/articles\/climaterelatedmortalityandhospitaladmissionsenglandandwales\/2001to2020#:~:text=Over%20a%2020%2Dyear%20period%20the%20estimated%20change%20in%20deaths,per%20year%20(Table%201).\">paper<\/a>&nbsp;titled, \u2018Climate-related mortality and hospital admissions, England and Wales: 2001 to 2020\u2019. Sounds kinda relevant, so what does the data say regarding recent trends in temperature-related deaths?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Over a 20-year period the estimated change in deaths associated with warm or cold temperature was a net&nbsp;<strong>decrease<\/strong>&nbsp;of 555,094, an average of 27,755 deaths per year (Table 1). A decrease in deaths from outcomes associated with cold temperature&nbsp;<strong>greatly outnumbers<\/strong>&nbsp;deaths associated with warm temperature.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ah yes, I hear you say. But the decrease in cold-related deaths has nothing to do with the benefits of warming and everything to do with the benefits of improved insulation in housing. Whereas, the increase in heat-related deaths has everything to do with the perils of warming and nothing to do with a failure to improve air-conditioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To which I reply: What increase in heat-related deaths? According to the ONS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWe found relatively little increase in deaths caused by warmer weather and a reduction in deaths caused by cold winters, leading to a net decrease in deaths\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ah yes, I hear you say. But what about other countries?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To which I reply: This is not about other countries. This is about an alert system introduced in England to deal with a heat-related death crisis that does not exist in England, combined with a failure to introduce an alert system in England to deal with a cold-related death crisis that does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ah yes, I hear you say. But what about the future? Cold related-deaths are receding and there will come a point when heat-related deaths do start to rise and take over, even in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To which I reply: This may be true, but that would be a problem for the future. The UKHSA\u2019s heat alert system is a solution to a crisis that is supposed to exist today. The reason why it has been introduced today (when there has never been a cold alert system) is because buy-in to Net Zero is wanted today, and that buy-in requires achieving certain levels of eco-anxiety no later than this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ah yes, I hear you say. But is Lomborg a scientist? To which I reply: I don\u2019t remember mentioning Lomborg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Given how much bullshit has already been expended fertilizing this alarm, you\u2019d think that I would be good and ready by now to hand in my sceptical weaponry as part of the deniers\u2019 amnesty that surely must be just around the corner.
