The Associated Press: New climate targets may not change daily life much
"Relying on fossil fuels leads to unhealthy lifestyles, increasing our chances for getting sick and in some cases takes years from our lives," U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said. "As greenhouse gas emissions go down, so do deaths from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. This is not a small effect."

Climategate: a word of advice to the scientists | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
A decade from now, when scientists and the public look back at this extraordinary scandal, this great fit of collective madness, the question will be asked: on which side were you?

Not one hand went up. How we’ve failed today’s children.

Why Are We Living Longer?

Tuljapurkar et al. examined mortality over the period 1950-1994 in the G7 countries - Canada, France, Germany (excluding the former East Germany), Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The authors found that "in every country over this period, mortality at each age has declined exponentially at a roughly constant rate."

Sebelius is either lying or stupid. I'm leaning toward stupid.
