No contradiction



I have been reading a report from the Bank of England about climate change (page 79 points 12 and 13) and they mention that in the short term there would be no real impact of the climate change in rates of mortality or morbidity in UK. I presume they are talking just from the insurance point of view.

Notwithstanding The 2015 Lancet Commission on Health and Climate Change is saying: “The effects of climate change are being felt today, and future projections represent an unacceptably high and potentially catastrophic risk to human health”.
It means, for me, they are looking at the situation form very different points of view meaning they would be evaluation different sets of affected people. The same is valid for the “alleged” contradiction I mentioned days ago…
