Despite the supposedly catastrophic threat of global warming, cold weather-related deaths across the United States are on the rise.
According to a study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the number of Americans who have died from the cold has doubled between the period of 1999 to 2022.
Dr. Rishi Wadhera, an associate professor of health policy and management at Harvard University, and his team conducted a study revealing the need for “public health interventions to improve access to warming centers and indoor heating for vulnerable populations.”
The research analyzed U.S. death certificates for over 63.5 million Americans who died between 1999 and 2022.
During that time, exposure to cold temperatures was identified as a direct or contributing factor in 0.06% of deaths.
The study found that the rate of cold-related deaths more than doubled over the 23-year period, increasing from 0.44 deaths per 100,000 people in 1999 to 0.92 deaths per 100,000 in 2022.
This amounts to an annual rise of 3.4% in cold-related mortality.
The researchers highlighted that the sharpest increase occurred between 2016 and 2022, coinciding with the supposed intensification of climate change.
The study also identified specific populations at higher risk.
Older adults are particularly vulnerable because they are “more susceptible to cold weather due to limited thermoregulatory [body temperature] response” and often have preexisting health conditions that amplify their risks.
Native American and black populations also faced a significantly higher likelihood of dying from cold exposure compared to white Americans.
The authors attributed this disparity partly to a “lack of home insulation or heat” that disproportionately affects minority populations.
While such figures directly contradict suggestions that the earth is not actually warming at a dangerous rate, climate scientists claim that more extreme weather events are linked to rising temperatures.
At the beginning of this year, Russia and Scandinavia experienced record-cold weather. In northern Sweden, temperatures fell as low as a staggering -46ºF, the lowest temperature ever recorded in the region.
