[ RadSafe ] Climate Change a fraud?

[Howard Long]

Doug,
I didn't notice your ref on London 1952 until my prev note.
Thank you. The 60 years between are a good sign, as is the far greater number of deaths from cold - 7 x the mortality from heat related causes in winter as in summer in all countries. Global warmin g would be a blessing.
