All of this stupid because Al Gore got a D in a science class.

Offers a really good perspective on how government funding distorts reality.

Time to add extra heat shielding to your transmission tunnel.

That just sounds dirty! LOL

When one thinks of the warming climate...

Start right off with a lie. It's not a "warming climate" it is SUMMER.

Along with ingrowing toenails.

I've had three, and all presented in the summer.

That may be, but you are still here typing. Deaths from nearly every cause of death (heart attack, stroke, cancer, etc) are higher in winter. There are no causes of death which decrease in winter except lightning, heat stroke and similar rarities.

The good news is that CHOP, which I’ve given money to in the past, has unlimited money to perform utterly frivolous “research” and no longer needs my money.

It’s OK to state that higher temp = increased risk of stones.

That doesn’t mean global warming causes stones.

However, the doctors seem to assume global warming is real, thus expect more stones. So there is some knid of politization. That premise needn’t be placed in this study.

I don't remember the article mentioning anything about kidney stones being a mortal illness. I would suppose death from kidney stones is pretty unusual. If you've ever had one you'll remember occasions when you wished you were dead, however.
