At least nine homeless people have died across Germany due to low temperatures since October, the German body that tracks homelessness (BAGW) said on Monday.

“We know of nine people who died at night for no fault of their own,” Werena Rosenke, the association’s managing director told the newspaper Rheinische Post. “In some cases, forensic medical examinations are still ongoing, but we assume that the victims had no dwelling and froze to death due to low temperatures.”

Four of the deaths were reported in the port city of Hamburg, two in Düsseldorf and one each in Cologne, Essen and the eastern German city of Lauchhammer.

In 2017, three cold-related deaths were reported during the same period, although many more went unreported, the group claimed. …

Maybe all their windmills to stop global warming are working too good.

How can there possibly be homeless there. Trump lives thousands of miles away.

Life is not fair.

Everyone dies.

Most homeless people have drug and/or alcohol problems and/or have mental problems.

You can walk around Frankfurt’s train station district, and there’s probably 500 to 700 homeless guys/gals, who are all on some drug issue (mostly heroin). They will work to get some cash....then go and get juiced up and lay in some city-park until the high ends. With the chilled weather of the past month...it wouldn’t surprise if one death per day occur with this crowd. The charity operations will offer some kind of heated facility....if you aren’t drunk or blitzed on some drug.

Wow! Clearly this was caused by Global Warming. Global Warming is getting more and more dangerous every year. Soon we may all freeze to death.

Clearly this was caused by Global Warming.

That is why the nomenclature is no longer Global Warming.

It is now Climate Change. Climate Change covers all bases and is non-falsifiable.

Temperature goes up: Climate Change.

Temperature goes down: Climate Change.

Temperature stays the same: Climate change is around the corner.

Grmany closed its coal fired power plants, jacking the price of electricity by 350 percent.

Are European nations that are on board with the Paris global warming accord overachievers?

Exactly.

I'm sure there was somewhere, say a Starbucks, a homeless shelter, mission, church, emergency shelter, hospital where they could have gone.
