Food for thought! I agree with the summary.
Remember, we just came out of the last ice age in about 1850 (The Little Ice Age)!
Global atmospheric temperature measurements are very suspect! Claims of a 1.5 C increase are ridiculously precise!
Increased CO2 in the atmosphere means a greener planet of plants! 😊
"Summary
Claims that global warming will have net negative effects on human health are not supported by scientific evidence. Moderate warming and increased atmospheric concentrations of carbon-dioxide levels could provide net benefits for human welfare, agriculture, and the biosphere by reducing cold-related deaths, increasing the amount of arable land, extending the length of growing seasons, and invigorating plant life. The harmful effects of restricting access to fossil fuel energy and subsequently causing energy costs to increase would likely outweigh any potential benefits from slightly delaying any rise in temperatures. Climate change is likely to have less impact on health and welfare than polices that would deprive the poor living in emerging economies of the benefits of abundant and inexpensive energy.
Key Takeaways
- A colder climate generally poses a much greater risk to human health and causes more deaths than a warmer climate.
- An increase in warmer conditions would not significantly increase the range of vector-borne diseases such as malaria or Lyme disease.
- Life expectancy has improved tremendously as a result of access to affordable and reliable energy

Caveat: I did not read the report.
