Climate at a Glance: Deaths from Extreme Weather

Extreme weather events are often attributed to climate change, but weather and climate are not the same thing.
Real-world data show no significant increase in extreme weather over the past 100 years.

Climate at a Glance: Temperature Related Deaths

Peer reviewed research, informed by real-world data, clearly shows deaths associated with cold temperatures significantly outnumber heat related deaths by almost 10 to 1.

Underlying Science

Climate at a Glance: Weather vs. Climate

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) defines climate as “…the average weather conditions for a particular location and over a long period of time.”

Climate Change Impacts

Climate at a Glance: The Great Barrier Reef

Coral coverage on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) set the record for the highest amount measured in 36 years of consistent record keeping by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) in 2022, breaking the record set the previous year.

Climate Change Impacts

Climate at a Glance: Bees and Climate Change

The biggest mortality issue facing beekeepers is Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), which is unrelated to climate change.

Economics and Policy

Climate at a Glance: Climate Refugees

The asserted causes of so-called “climate refugees”— increasing crop failures, catastrophic weather events, and islands lost to rising seas— have not materialized.

Climate Change Impacts

Climate at a Glance: Islands and Sea Level Rise

Most islands and atolls in the Pacific Ocean, including Tuvalu, are growing, not shrinking.  

ABOUT

Climate At A Glance puts frequently argued climate issues into short, concise, summaries that provide the most important, accurate, powerful information.  The summaries are designed to provide a library of solid yet simple rebuttals so that legislators, teachers, students, and laymen can easily refute the exaggerations of the so-called “climate crisis.”

Facts, data, and perspectives are presented that put media scares in proper perspective. Articles presented on this website can be accessed by climate-related topic using the menu at top.
