I applaud jimjamuser for his informative and helpful comments abt climate change

No one has mentioned the number of deaths and negative health impacts from climate change and greenhouse gas emissions

For example: Interesting to read the GWU statistics and analysis of the increased number of trips to the emergency room for asthma and respiratory issues in young children living next to highway versus those children who live in another part of the city not next to highways

Also heat related illnesses and climate change migration and arthropod illnesses. Increased number of mosquito borne illnesses due to mosquitoes not going into diapause and inhabiting areas further north See EEE deaths this year

Recent hurricanes are an example of more extreme and more frequent storms. In 2023 there were 28 billion dollar storms compared to 4 in 2000

For more info on health impacts there are some excellent graphics on CDC website
