The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster,population and economic trends. It found that humaninfluenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (營養(yǎng)不良)and healrelated health problems. But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk,who questioned its methods and with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030. Roger Pielke political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum39。s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to humandriven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受傷害的)regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention. “But the report, he said, 39。39。will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).” However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty. In a press relea
