Tim BrayThis is horrible: Heat deaths will spike in the poor countries that mostly didn't pump the CO2 into the atmosphere. To the extent there are any climate benefits from the temperature ramp, it'll come to people like me in cool climates, the ones who are mostly responsible for all that CO2.

Ed Wiebe@timbray It is horrible. And we (climate scientists) have been warning about this for decades.
Excess heat has already hit us here in our idyllic little corner of Canada. The 2021 heat dome killed more than 600 vulnerable people.
There are no benefits of climate change to anyone anywhere.
IPCC Second Assessment WG2 1995 ยง 12.4.2.4
"Heat waves appear to increase overall death rates, even in acclimatized populations."
