Top Right: The Compressed Mortality database on CDC, contains mortality and population counts for all U.S. counties. Counts and rates of death can be obtained by underlying cause of death, state, county, age, race, sex, and year. Data are also available for Hispanic ethnicity, injury intent, injury mechanism and urbanization categories. The numeric chart was taken from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) mortality database and the CDC NCHS mortality statistics database table. The findings show a positive decrease in death rates from 2000 to 2005. The data indicates a side-by-side comparison of five states with the lowest mortality rates. California ranked fourth at 718 (per 100,000). If one takes the entire state and the U.S. Hispanic population, the death rate would be less than even Hawaii. Even LA with supposedly the worst non-attainment air problems in the state, would rank third by itself for lowest deaths, with 739. Now, if the air was as dirty as the EPA and CARB claims, and that it is killing thousands of Californians, how can we possible have these very low and improving mortality rates? Bottom Right: It was interesting to see the result for this map. The data map shows a displacement of surface wind chill temperatures in Fahrenheit. This graphic map was displayed in an article called “Big Chill: Coldest Weather in Over Two Decades” on January 6, 2010. The writers of this article (infowars.com) state that nearly the entire eastern half of the US is enduring bitterly cold temperatures not felt since 1985. You can visit more on this article at http://www.infowars.com/big-chill-coldest-weather-in-over-two-decades/, with that in mind, “What global warming?”. Top Left: Three monkeys, pretty much explains itself!
