All climate scientists agree: Tax Americans and man-made global warmingTM will cease.

They call it climate change. I call it a screwup at an old Soviet bioweapons lab.
(or a current Russian bioweapons lab).

I remember 1979. That was when the world was plunging into a
man-caused ice age that would wipe out civilization by the year 2000.

Record-high temperatures melted Arctic permafrost and released deadly anthrax spores from a thawing carcass of a caribou that had been infected 75 years ago

Does anyone ever proof read these stupid articles?

IT CAN NOT BE ARCTIC PERMAFROST if it wasn’t there 75 YEARS AGO.

BS. 75 years proves nothing when it comes to climate change. The same spot might refreeze for the next two or three centuries.

But in Russia, the spread of illness was not the result of bioterrorism; it was a result of global warming. Record-high temperatures melted Arctic permafrost and released deadly anthrax spores from a thawing carcass of a caribou that had been infected 75 years ago and had stayed frozen in limbo until now.

My, that's an amazing bit of epidemiology, tracing the outbreak to a single unfrozen corpse. Unless it's unadulterated BS the writer pulled out of his anus, of course. I'm guessing the latter, in fact, I got a twenty says so.

Google this: Vozrozhdeniya Island. It isn't an island anymore now that the Aral Sea is all but dry due to catastrophic interventions by the Soviet Union. And what was on it now has a land bridge to the mainland. This isn't global warming, it's real, and it's worth worrying about.

Go to any COllege Campus or Inner City run by Demonrats and you might think those predictions actually came true.

To their point ... another global ice age would resolve a multitude of world health issues. After all, frozen people -- like frozen anthrax spores -- do not contribute to the unwell population.

Since local climates change with much more variance than global averages, and since global averages have not varied beyond what is typical in unspoiled nature, linking anthropologic climate change to these anthrax deaths, or to any other local effect is beyond normal stupid, but is of a higher order of stupid than the world has ever seen. It is ignorance wrapped in arrogance wrapped in stupid wrapped in smug wrapped in get a damn clue you morons!

Oh, they are indeed smug.

Every time I see Bill Nye the "Science" guy pontificating about man-made climate changeTM, I want to throw something at the TV.

But you have to admit it’s a superb propaganda ploy.
The left really understands how to influence public opinion.

So, all of these deadly diseases migrated to the cold parts of the earth to eradicate themselves from harming humans, and now humans are freeing them once again with man made climate change. Riiiiigggghhhttt

Don’t worry, the global cooling will fix it.

If memory serves, the winter of 1941 was especially brutal. Stopped the Krauts dead in their track just outside Moscow. Close but no cigar for Hitler.
