The Skeptical Science website has an excellent guide of how to respond to climate skeptics:

I think the definition of 'safest' will vary from person to person. I wouldn't want to make the ecological fallacy of suggesting that one person's life will be a reflection of the statistical models which calculate risk of death and life expectancy.

The country with highest life expectancy in the world will change over time, and may in the future be South Korea. But that doesn't mean just moving to South Korea will help you.

The best advice I can give for things which you can control are to eat well, exercise regularly, sleep enough and fill your life with things you are challenged by but interested in.

Yes that sounds plausible.

I don't argue that the environment necessarily killed younger people. Warmer weather, however, can module behaviour too, which can cause more dangerous behaviour for younger people.

Well there's no Planet B so hopefully a long time.

Some people in power may discredit my research. However, there is a large and growing majority of civil society and in fact those in power in most countries who accept the scientific method.

Climate change is no longer Climate change and the risks it poses to health is well-documented in thousands of papers.

I believe that opinion will change to lay on the side of science.
