“Silent” killer that scientists have been loudly warning about for over 40 years now
Scientists have been loudly warning us about greenhouse gasses for over 200 years. We didn’t listen, still are not listening, and this is the result that has been predicted for centuries. Many more people will die, as required, all for some pieces of paper monopoly money that we just made up and pretend has value. Humanity is so special!
It’s not silent because we don’t know about it
It’s silent because it’s literally silent. You can walk by someone dying from heat exposure and not really notice they’re dying. The person might not even realize how dangerous it is.
Compare that to a stroke or heart attack and it makes sense why this is called a “silent killer”.
