Editors from The Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine, and hundreds of other medical journals have issued a joint editorial demanding “emergency action” to limit global temperature increases, including greatly increased monetary contributions and emissions cuts from wealthy nations, as well as heavy government intervention and greater global coordination.
“The greatest threat to global public health is the continued failure of world leaders to keep the global temperature rise below 1.5° C and to restore nature,” the editors wrote.
The editorial, which was widely covered by left-wing and liberal news outletssuch as The Guardian, highlighted multiple public health indicators that the authors said reflect the impact of climate change…
“The editorial claims that no increase in temperature is ‘safe.’ This is, of course, falsified by the reality that since industrialization, human population has boomed from about 1 billion to 7.8 billion. Global population has grown 75 percent since NASA’s James Hansen started fretting [over] global warming in 1980,” wrote Steve Milloy, a lawyer and the proprietor of JunkScience.com, in a message to The Epoch Times.
