Just wanted to add a little more information to the warm vs cold debate and how the Chris's konrads and old frauds of the world think that cold is so much better than what we have.
While Chris has been bleating about the warmth across Russia and the ensuing wildfires (caused by an excess of fuel brought on by the severe winter that preceeded the current fire season) and the temps across the eastern US, he has been studiously ignoring those areas where it is colder than normal.
In the southwest it has been far colder than normal. And in South America the winter has been truly epic.
Snow in Brazil, below zero Celsius in the River Plate and tropical fish frozen — MercoPress
But that is not the point I want to make here. Warmth for the most part is far preferable to cold. The months of December January, and February see 800 more people die per day than the entire rest of the year. That's correct 72,000 more Americans die in winter than all the rest of the year.
The three months with the lowest mortality? June, July, and August.
I have linked the paper by Indur Goklany and just to save old fraud the time I also have linked the sourcewatch hit piece on the good Doctor. Seems they don't have much other than he's apparently a sceptic. However he also worked for the Dept. of the Interior so his source material is pretty solid.
