Do you know what the difference is between the 5,000 dead people referenced in this story and all the people killed by global warming?
The UK dead are real. Cold kills.
“Freezing Britain’s unusually harsh winter could have cost thousands of pensioners their lives.
This month is on track to be the coldest March for 50 years – and as the bitter Arctic conditions caused blackouts and traffic chaos yesterday, experts warned of an ‘horrendous’ death toll among the elderly.
About 2,000 extra deaths were registered in just the first two weeks of March compared with the average for the same period over the past five years.
And for February, 3,057 extra deaths were registered in England and Wales compared with the five-year average for the month.”

To be accurate –
‘2,000 extra deaths registered in just the first two weeks of March’
5ooo have died and there is always a higher death rate in winter compared to summer.
But cold kills (mostly the poor and elderly) and the green warmists want to find the world’s thermostat and make it colder.
It’s strange how these assorted meetings to save the planet (with a very large carbon footprint) are invariably held in sunny, warm climes.
sad isn’t it….well…i leave next week for vacation…and guess what…i’m by-passing Winnipeg and going to Phoenix…go figure eh!!!
It is about to get much,much worse. They are almost out of gas to heat with.

And the forecast says more extreme cold for at least the next week.
Glowball Warming at its best.
What a shame the UK can’t take care for their elderly… Clearly they need to raise their taxes.
