Just to get attention for an ubsubstantiated claim

A man climbed a 52 story building today. What some people will do just to get attention to their cause.

Once at the top of the building the man brandished a banner stating "Global Warming kills more people than a 9/11 every week."

How, exactly, do you quantify how many people global warming kills? I am not against the cause to "save the environment," but I don't think it is possible to quantify how many people die each week from global warming, because global warming, by its own nature, cannot kill.

Global warming does not kill anyone! Storms, heat, or other environmental factors might kill people, but not global warming.

We have had storms, and heat waves long before we have known about "global warming." People have died because of natural disasters for at least as long as I have been alive. How do we know which storms are because of global warming? Can you point to a storm and say, "this storm wouldn't have happened if we didn't have climate change?"

Out climber might have been better served if he climbed the building and shouted, "SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT!" He sure would have had his intellectual integrity intact.
