In historic comparative studies, the sole main element that enhanced the lifespan of the population in the last century was ... (I will reveal it. Just stay for a moment longer.)
You will assume, the medical improvements, all the advanced medicine, better food, refrigerators, ...
NO!
It was the invention of the central heating and warmer room temperatures on average, to result in a significant increase in the lifespan of the population.
The medicine was confronted with illnesses and treatments for an aging population, that formerly had not been necessary, as the people would have already died by then. That increased the necessity for medicine and treatments, but they did not lead to this development, but rather are the result of it and might contribute to a much slighter extent to this development.
Therefore, the current demand for lower heating in the coming winter months could also be declared as an intentional reduction of the population.
Does anyone openly state that fact?
No, not to my knowledge.
Disclaimer:
Without sugar in my life, my patience for stupidity is rather limited. So do not wonder, when I state my dissatisfaction with nonsense quite openly here.
