global greenhouse gas reductions on air quality and human health.
«Even if one assumes that the relationships
between climatic variables and
mortality used in this study are valid,» Goklany concludes, «considering the cumulative effect of the shortcomings noted above, the methodologies and assumptions used by the WHO inevitably exaggerate the future

«Working with data pertaining to 7450 cardiovascular - related deaths that occurred within Budapest, Hungary,
between 1995 and 2004 — where the deceased were «medico - legally autopsied» — Toro et al. looked for potential relationships
between daily maximum, minimum and mean temperature, air humidity, air pressure, wind speed,
global radiation and daily numbers of the heart - related deaths... scientists report and restate their primary finding numerous times throughout their paper, writing that (1) «both the maximum and the minimum daily temperatures tend to be lower when more death cases occur in a day,» (2) «on the days with four or more death cases, the daily maximum and minimum temperatures tend to be lower than on days without any cardiovascular death events,» (3) «the largest frequency of cardiovascular death cases was detected in cold and cooling weather conditions,» (4) «we found a significant negative relationship
between temperature and cardiovascular
mortality,» (5) «the analysis of 6 - hour change of air pressure suggests that more acute or chronic vascular death cases occur during increasing air pressure conditions (implying cold weather fronts),» (6) «we found a high frequency of cardiovascular death in cold weather,» (7) «a significant negative relationship was detected
between daily maximum [and] minimum temperature [s] and the number of sudden cardiovascular death cases,» and (8) «a significant negative correlation was detected
between daily mean temperature and cardiovascular
mortality.»
