2024 GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy stopped by MSNBC to challenge host Andrea Mitchell and the left’s beliefs on climate change; “I can offer clear evidence that the number of climate disaster-related deaths is down by 98% over the last century,” Ramaswamy said.
“Let’s talk about the hurricane that is now approaching. You’ve called climate change and that agenda a hoax. You said more people are dying from bad climate change policies than there are of actual climate change,” Mitchell said. “But according to a U.N. agency, extreme weather events compounded by climate change caused the death of 2 million people between 1970 and 2021.”
“I can offer clear evidence that the number of climate disaster-related deaths is down by 98% over the last century. The number of people who died of hurricanes, tornadoes, heatwaves, and other weather-related events in 1920 – for every 100 that died then, two die today,” Ramaswamy tells Mitchell.
He continued, “And the reason why is more plentiful, abundant access to fossil fuels and technology powered by fossil fuels. I can also tell you today it is a hard fact. None of these things are disputed. Eight times as many people die of cold temperatures than die of warm ones. The right answer to all temperature-related deaths is more plentiful abundant access to fossil fuels.”
Ramaswamy was the only GOP candidate during the first debate to declare climate change a “hoax.”
