Cold Kills 40,000 Every Year In The UK

More than 2,500 people in England and Wales are likely to perish from cold in the week leading up to Christmas, experts said today.

The forecast from the Faculty of Public Health and Met Office comes amid renewed concern over the plight of the poor and vulnerable during cold snaps.

Each winter, a larger proportion of Britons die because of unseasonable cold weather than in either Finland or Russia.

An estimated 40,000 more people die between December and March in the UK than would be expected from death rates during other times of the year.

Americans Are Twice As Likely To Be Killed By A Car Than To Be Murdered

Most US murders are caused by black gang members using illegal weapons, but even including those – Americans are more than twice as likely to be killed by a car than murdered.

The death rate for automobile accidents in the US is 12.3 per 100,000. The murder rate is 4.7 per 100,000.

According to the World Health Organization, road traffic injuries caused an estimated 1.26 million deaths worldwide in the year 2000. The average rate was 20.8 per 100,000 people, 30.8 for males, 11.0 for females.

The murder rate is much lower in most of America. Most murders happen in places with strict gun control.

Lefties Want Gun Control – For Everybody Else

CNN’s David Gregory sends his children to a school with armed guards, and he openly flaunts DC gun laws on television.  He also wants to take everyone else’s guns away, and make sure that other people’s children are not protected.

In 1980, journalist Carl Rowan called for everyone else with a gun to be put in jail, before he shot an intruder – using an illegal gun.

In 1988 he shot an intruder using an illegal gun, and then lashed out at the NRA for trying to make an honest man out of him.

The primary requirement for left-wing heroes is that they are total hypocrites, and they hate other people.

Shock News : Snowfall Is Associated With Cold

The US is getting blasted by one snowstorm after another. Last year the experts told us that the lack of snow was due to global warming, and they are about to start blaming the excess snow on global warming – because they need funding and don’t care about facts.

I plotted US snowfall vs. temperature for all GHCN HCN stations which have been continuously active since at least 1920. There is a strong correlation between cold years and snowfall – which would be obvious to any child but beyond the grasp of climate experts.

No Long Term Trend In US Snowfall

I added some code to measure the total snowfall. The graph below plots the total annual snowfall for all 821 GHCN HCN stations which have been continuously active since at least 1920.

There is no trend in US snowfall. The snowiest year was 1951, and the least snowy year was 1981.
