Global Humanitarian Forum says 315,000 people die each year from Climate Change. Is that from warming or cooling?

This is an absolute FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt). How did the Global Humanitarian Forum come up with the statistics and data? I read the press release and they didn't even provide evidence on how climate change/global warming cause this deaths.

Kofi Anan. The head of the Global Humanitarian Forum. Is most famous for the Oil-for-Food scam.

While he was the Secretary General of the UN. A huge number of people die from hunger each day. Now if you add in Climate Change in the mix.

Now that's a convenient excuse. We can scare a lot of people from giving us more money and believe our propaganda. The problem with this is.

Will the money spent in fighting hunger will actually go the people who needs it the most? Or will it just go to the pockets of corrupt officials? The IPCC (a part of the United Nations) have got their science wrong and is widely disputed by many scientist worldwide.

John Coleman (founder of the Weather Channel) and 30,0000 scientist worldwide wants to sue Al Gore for the Global Warming Fraud. I have a post at Mahalo Answers voted as Best. Global Warming is a Myth.

The GHF estimate includes heat waves, cold snaps, drought, flood, and cyclones as well as the effects of gradual environmental degradation. The official GHF report details the methodology used to reach its conclusions (link below is a pdf of the entire report). First, the number of flood- and wind-related "loss events" (as opposed to all weather-related disasters) was noted for each year from 1980 to 2005, as was the number of earthquakes.

The earthquake data were used to represent a disaster rate unaffected by weather, and any trends in weather-related disasters as compared to seismic disasters were presumed to be the result of climate change. The smoothed data show a 52% increase in earthquakes over the 1980-2005 period, while windstorms showed a 123% increase and the number of floods more than tripled (a 207% increase). Based on these data, the report concludes that about 40% of all weather-related losses in 2005 were the result of climate change.

Secondly, the negative effects of gradual climate change were defined in terms of how observed changes in regional climatic patterns increased the risk of diarrhea, malaria, and malnutrition based on an IPCC climate model. The combined toll from these short- and long-term events related to climate change is estimated at over 300,000 lives and US$125 billion in economic losses per year. Critics of the report will immediately point out that the long-term effects are based on a climate model which they believe to be in error.It is true that the overall effects of increased atmospheric CO2 are not completely certain.

A possible scenario for this might be: increased CO2 ---> increased surface temperatures ---> increased evaporation from oceans and other surface water sources ---> increased atmospheric moisture ---> increased cloud formation ---> increase in Earth's albedo ---> decreased solar insolation ---> decreased surface temperatures However, the marked increase in severe or unseasonable *weather* (as opposed to climate) events is harder to dismiss. Most importantly, and too often overlooked, is the fact that regardless of its effects, the rapid modern increase in atmospheric CO2 itself represents a significant change to a system at equilibrium. According to chaos theory, such a perturbation can result in abrupt and severe oscillations in the system conditions, finally settling into an equilibrium which may or may not be the same as the previous equilibrium state.

Given that so much of our current civilization (in terms of infrastructure, population density, etc. ) was established in the mid-20th century, which was a period of unusual climatic stability by long-term standards, *any* climate change in *any* direction will have costs.

Climate change around the world is believed to be caused by increased world temperature or simply the world is warming up.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
