<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s like expert scientists in Nature<\/em> have never heard of an air-conditioner?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Blob launched its latest permutation of Fire and Brimstone. By using broken climate models, and ignoring ten thousand years of bones, rocks, sediments, ice-cores, caves and corals, they were able to pretend that babies today will suffer \u201cunprecedented\u201d storms, floods and fires of every kind and it\u2019s all your fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paper by Grant et al ticks the full Marxist Bingo Card whipping up class warfare driven by \u201cintergenerational inequality\u201d. It was funded by the EU and is being used to shake down citizens to get more money and power for the EU, so they will be happy. \u201cMission accomplished\u201d. (That\u2019s what \u2018The ScienceTM\u2019<\/sup> is for right?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it is embarrassing. We have to talk about that formerly esteemed \u201cNature<\/em>\u201d journal. For starters, the researchers behave like the universe only formed in 1960. Their whole shtick is that babies today will live through more ghastly heatwaves than their grandparents born in 1960 did. And it\u2019s all \u201cunprecedented\u201d (they use the term 25 times in the paper).  It\u2019s as if the Holocene<\/a> did not exist. Sea levels<\/a> were at least a metre higher 8,000 years ago<\/a>. How could the world not<\/strong> have been hotter? And how did those cats, dogs, geese and frogs live in the high arctic north of Norway 9,000 years ago<\/a>. There were thousands of bones in those caves. Do they or do they not exist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spare a thought for the babies of 6,000 BC who lived through far more heatwaves in their lifetime than any will today, and they didn\u2019t have an air conditioner, a baby monitor, or a Fire Department to call when a bushfire broke out. Somehow they didn\u2019t become extinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution to all the potential, imagined cataclysm of one more degree (if it even happens) is cheap electricity. If we try to save babies with slave-made-solar panels from Xingjiang we\u2019ll be committing a crime (and more than one).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll save more babies by burning fossil fuels and making electricity cheap again, so people can afford to turn the air-con on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airconditioners are the miracle that save 20,000<\/a> lives in USA each year. As it got hotter in Spain from 1980 to 2015 fewer  people died \u2014 and it was because more of them were able to get air conditioning<\/a>. The Science says fossil fuels save lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global deaths and disasters are down in the last 100 years.<\/a> But shameless UN lies are up. To solve the increase in global disasters, just axe the UN.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Deaths are down per capita from fire, landslide, storm, flood, extreme temperatures and drought.(Our World in Data<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global weather disaster costs have also declined since 1990 as a percentage of our GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearly the more CO2 we emit, the less we spend on global weather disasters.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
