"The figure, reproduced from ref. 13, shows the daily mortality rate in
Baden-Württemberg, Germany, over a period of 20 months, and puts the
August 2003 heatwave in context. Total daily mortality data are in
black, with the mean seasonal evolution in red. Notable features are the
seasonal cycle, with higher mortality in winter; a heat-related
mortality peak in June 2002; the effects of an influenza outbreak in
February–March 2003; and the striking peak in August 2003, due to the
heatwave, which caused 900–1,300 extra deaths in a population of 10.7
million people."


This is evidence that the 2003 heat-wave already killed more people than
the flu. Furthermore it is a fact that an increase in the occurence in
heat-waves is related to anthropogenic global warming. Linking A to B
gives C, the inevitable conclusion, which is that anthropogenic global
warming is already killing people.


AGW denial is simply unethical.


AGW alarmism is totally and unashamedly unethical!
Cold and alarmism are the really, really big killers!!

Bonzo show unethical behavior by denying the fact that heatwaves kill
more people than the annual flu.

The problem is not the annual fluctuation in the morbidity rates, it is
the occasional outbreaks (flu and heatwaves) that are worrisome.



Today the Victorian Coroner said that on a normal day at this time of
year the Melbourne morgue would receive about 16 dead. Today it
received 50. It is full and outsourcing the overflow.

Victorian business estimates the cost to Victoria as about $100million
and SA's estimate is another $45 million. --
