The weather is killing thousands of people around the world now but likely the fullness of this you aren't going to read in the news anywhere

Why?

Because Global Climate change is sort of too awful to be Newsy past a certain point.

Each country is going to report now mostly locally about this. People who gather real data worldwide about the full amount of deaths from droughts, starvation, flooding, heavy winds, and the heat or a combination of many of these things at once likely won't be tabulated fully. Or if they are they will be suppressed by local news outlets or governments around the world.

You might, however, see actual numbers from bloggers around the world in research facilities if they gather together to publish this information together worldwide.

Something like this was done when the Fukushima meltdown happened in Japan from the Tsunami in Japan in 2011 where people banded together around the world to take geiger counter readings to make sure that air and water (including the ocean) as safe or not. However, even if Air and land might be safe the ocean next to Fukushima Nuclear power plant likely will never be safe to eat fish from even though many people might still do this. The half life of  weapons grade plutonium being reprocessed in one of the three meltdowns there has a half life of around 25,000 years. Here is info on it:

begin quote:

Pu-239 has a half-life of 24,100 years and Pu-241's half-life is 14.4 years. Substances with shorter half-lives decay more quickly than those with longer half-lives, so they emit more energetic radioactivity. Like any radioactive isotopes, plutonium isotopes transform when they decay.
