“Current heatwave ‘likely to kill almost 600 people in England and Wales”- Latest Guardian Fake News

This shameful article surely marks a new low for the wretched Guardian, and its author, Damian Carrington:

Almost 600 people are expected to die early in the heatwave roasting England and Wales, a rapid analysis has found.

The surge in deaths would not be occurring without human-caused global heating, the scientists said, with temperatures boosted by 2C-4C by the pollution from fossil fuels.

More than 10,000 people died before their time in summer heatwaves between 2020 and 2024, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). The government’s preparations to protect people from the escalating impacts of the climate crisis were condemned as “inadequate, piecemeal and disjointed” by official advisers in April.

You don’t even have to read it to realise what a load of drivel it is. And they cannot even wait a week or two to get the actual mortality data.

It is hard to know where to start with the pack of lies.

For a start, temperatures in the last few days have not been unusually high. CET maxed out at 28.5C, a level reached in most of the years on record.

The allegation that temperatures [were] ‘boosted’ by 2C-4C by the ‘pollution’ from ‘fossil fuels’ is clearly fake.

As for the claim that 600 will die as a result, if true the same must apply to every summer in Britain. Yet every single year, the death rate in summer is the lowest of every season.

The Guardian links to a report by Swiss Re:

In turn, Swiss Re link to the well known Lancet study to justify their propaganda:

However, neither Swiss Re nor the Guardian mention the fact that, according to the Lancet, excess deaths from cold far exceed those from heat:

In particular, deaths from cold in Western Europe run at four times the rate of heat ones.

And as I always like to point out, if people are dropping like flies in summer, what is killing far greater numbers in spring and autumn? Extreme mildness?

Swiss Re also provide a link to the EPA’s Heat Wave index, in an attempt to prove their argument that extreme heat is killing people. Unfortunately they obviously did not bother to fully read the EPA analysis, which shows that heatwaves in the US were much more severe at times in the past.

Nor are recent heatwaves in any way exceptional

Quite insultingly the Guardian quotes Dr Lorna Powell, an NHS urgent care doctor in east London, as saying:

“We must stop burning coal, oil and gas if we are to stabilise our climate and prevent scores of preventable health issues, hospital visits and deaths”

Maybe this silly woman might like to justify the deaths of tens of thousands in winter, when people will no longer be able to  heat their homes with cheap gas.
