Global warming and health...

Global warming may not be as serious as some folks think. But then, is this not why we have scientists? So, who's paying any attention to their warnings? Who gives a hoot? The economy stinks, but then going green in some respects provides jobs...so when shall we get started? You know, make more electric cars cheaper, construct more wind turbines for electricity; make it a law to add solar power where feasible. And while I'm at it, let's ask the FDA to make it madatory to eleminate MSG, too much sodium, too much corn syrup and all the other bad crap out of our packaged and canned foods. And what's that to do with global warming? Nothing really, we just mightr live longer too if we improve our diets besides being stressed about global warming.

This is Offensive

This is all one big SCAM !!!

Here is interesting commentary on how you Eco-Fascists try scare tactics.

This journmalist, JD Rucker and the editor should be ashamed. The people are aware, and the scientists are also campaigning against you Eco-terrorist journalists.

global warming - the hoax

Take a look at the research done by NOAA and 1n particular the ARGOS bouy systen. That is 3000 bouys in the Pacific. Climate change is due to a 1470 year cycle that has been going on at least 1 million years. The current warming spell has been replaces with a lack of sunspots. So far this year we have had 200 days with no sunspots. That means less energy to the earth from the sun. If you think that doesn't affect us, go back and read about the "Little Ice Age" that lasted from about 1650 to 1725 when Europe froze and starved. That was a period of almost no sunspots.

Global Warming: Health is in a bad place in life.

When we think of Global Warming, we think of penguins, cars, polar bears, Antarctica, etc. But, people don't realize, that it's not JUST harmful for Antarctica, it's harmful for health! Cars, stupid, smoking BLAH! Sick! You people are Suckish. I mean, when I was in High School, Elementary school, college and every other school, I rode a Hybrid or a bike. You better do it to or ill kick your... I think you can kinda tell. It starts with a capital A.

Your mental health can be hurt too

As is so often the case, when we talk about health, we forget to talk about mental health. But, from someone who has researched, written, and presented about the psychological aspects of global warming, I can unfortunately assure you that there will be mental health consequences. Among them will be incrresing violence in the warmest climates, climate refugees with accompaning Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and more anxiety which at times could lead to episodes of mass hysteria.

acid attacks on human beings ' digestive system

The change in the acidity of water in north america is causing health problems for humans. The need for antacids and fancy prescription drugs for acid reflux are blamed on stress, when the real problem is the acidic water. This is my observation; I would like to hear if any studies are being undertaken.

global warming

Hurt our health? That is being very narrow focused! Global warming will affect the health of EVERYTHING that lives and breathes. And why aren't we doing much about it? Yes, man might still destroy himself and this planet!

Great April 1 Article!

More coastal damage from hurricanes? More coastal population, more damage. Just why are people rushing to the southern coasts if the decidely warmer weather increases kidney stones, deaths, reduces fruit growth and bee stings? The retirement trend is to warmer places (Arizona, Florida) not to colder Canada. Nice thing about being a gorebul warming supporter, you really don't have to look at any facts, just make really silly claims. In fact, the sillier the better.
