Extreme weather from climate change triggered hunger in nearly 100 million people and increased heat deaths by 68% in vulnerable populations worldwide as the world’s “fossil fuel addiction” degrades public health each year, doctors reported in a new study.
Worldwide the burning of coal, oil, natural gas and biomass forms air pollution that kills 1.2 million people a year, including 11,800 in the United States, according to a report Tuesday in the prestigious medical journal Lancet.
“Our health is at the mercy of fossil fuels,” said University College of London health and climate researcher Marina Romanello, executive director of the Lancet Countdown. “We’re seeing a persistent addiction to fossil fuels that is not only amplifying the health impacts of climate change, but which is also now at this point compounding with other concurrent crises that we’re globally facing, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis, energy crisis and food crisis that were triggered after the war in Ukraine.”
In the annual Lancet Countdown, which looks at climate change and health, nearly 100 researchers across the globe highlighted 43 indicators where climate change is making people sicker or weaker, with a new look at hunger added this year. […]
In praising the report, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres put it even more bluntly than the doctors: “The climate crisis is killing us.” …

Quote of the day!
#1 Rule of thumb: If you can’t write me a prescription, I’m not calling you “doctor”.
#2 Rule of thumb: If your medical advice during the pandemic consisted of “wait until your lips turn blue, then go to the ER” or “pray for a vaccine”, I’m not calling you “doctor”.
Drs got Covid completely wrong as well..it’s about $$ not medical facts and science.
File a complaint on each doctor with their State Medical Board. They are practicing “out of scope” of their licensed specialties. . .
“Sorry, docs, but your MD degrees give you a lot of very specific knowledge”
Furthermore, the media can pick doctors to say whatever they want to broadcast.
Fossil fuels saves lives. Without it, people would freeze to death
Doctors say…..
Other doctors say. How come gas prices are so bleeping high.
The use of petroleum as a fuel and as a feedstock for agricultural chemicals are what allows us to feed billions of people. I don’t know what kind of medicine she practices, but I don’t think that she knows beans about farming.
Just say No to drugs!
I’ll listen to their climate change bs after they cure cancer.
Actually, the successful exploitation of petroleum change the world. It’s why it is progressed more technologically in the last hundred years than it did in the last several thousand years before that.
And that includes all the benefits to health and lifespans.
I never call it fossil fuels. I believe it is abiotic. I call it petroleum.
This sounds like ten pounds of horse crap in a five-pound bag.
Avoid doctors who treat you with leaches, bloodletting, a double shot of whiskey and a bullet to bite on.
All doctors? Some doctors? Two doctors?
In other news, Doctors insist COVID vaccines are safe and effective.
And yet the world’s population continues to grow exponentially.
China has a lower mortality rate than the US, and their smog can be cut with a knife, so I do not believe their fossil fuel eco-catastrophe bullshit.
There is no such a thing as a fossil fuel
Extreme balderdascious drivel
Excuse me, I meant to say extreme drivelous balderdash
