Both Bjorn Lomborg and Freeman Dyson advance this argument. It's typical of so many denialist arguments - superficially true but a furphy The bottom line is that this argument appears to argue that somehow AGW is a good thing because it will lead to fewer deaths. It's a gross misrepresentation of what actually happens More people have ALWAYS died in the winter than in the summer (they are more vulnerable then) but AGW won't change that - what it will do is lead to more extremes - especially in the summer. here's a simple rebuttall | |
