This event will be the biggest pack of lies and liars ever seen.

There is categorically no link between climate change and negative health outcomes.

Doctors and researchers who have joined the cause have had to depart from science to make their claims.

All health indicators show unprecedented improvement over the era of global warming...

I'm not making this up...

Here are some charts from the Lancet which depict the mortality rates from some putative climate-related factors.

What do you notice?

In all but one (irrelevant, as it happens) case, the stats show dramatic improvements.

But that didn't stop the Lancet claiming that the "risks" of climate change were increasing *BASED* on these charts.

What does that mean?

It means that the notion of "risk" has been decoupled from reality.

What's the 'risk' of me throwing a six on a dice? One-in-six, right? You can test it in reality, the numbers make the case.

So something else figures in their calculations. What?

Ideology. That's what.

The doctors and researchers forget their science, they *know* that life would be better if there had been no increase in atmospheric CO2 and temperatures hadn't risen.

So they put their thumb on the scales.

They claim that there would be even more improvement if society had not emitted any CO2. Therefore, manmade climate change causes deaths.

That is ideology in motion. That's how it works.

And it uses the sheer weight and muscle of institutions to close down criticism.

But, of course, the *faithful* counterfactual requires us to imagine a world in which there had not been access to affordable, reliable and abundant energy.

What happens to the charts if we take energy and wealth away from society?

We go backwards. The progress reverses.
