Global Warming Makes Couples Cheat, Says Dating Website
Miami New Times ^ | Wed., May 28 2014 | Ciara LaVelle

If you're married in Miami, you might want to get out of town this summer. No, not to avoid the hurricanes -- to avoid a nasty divorce.

A new report blames global warming for rising rates of infidelity, especially bad news for couples in Miami, where rising tides and raging hurricanes remind us all how much extracurricular sex we could be having on a daily basis.

Victoria Milan, a dating website for people looking to cheat on their significant other, surveyed 5,000 of its members, both men and women. A shocking 72% of them responded that yes, their own Al Gore-esque stress about unpredictable weather is the cause of their extra-marital dalliances. Guess the fact of their existing committed relationships was just an inconvenient truth.

Survey respondents also reported that they're more likely to sneak a little on the side in hot weather than in cold. That makes sense -- after all, which would you say is sexier, a steamy Miami day or a polar vortex?

"Summer loving is something everyone experiences when they're growing up, and the excitement and thrill of doing something a bit naughty never fades," explains Victoria Milan CEO and founder Sigurd Vedal in a statement. "It's no surprise that one half of a couple feels the itch when the weather warms up."

So let's recap: hot, unpredictable weather makes for unfaithful partners. Just when you thought your hope of finding true love in Miami had hit rock bottom, a story like this comes along to prove there's even farther to fall. But hey, we'll all be underwater in 15 years anyway, right?

They were surveying people on a website to help people cheat. They expected them to respond, I cheat because I’m a scumbag?

Oh, it's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
I like to coo with my, baby, tonight
And pitch the woo with my, baby, tonight
'Cause it's too darn hot

According to the Kinsey Report
Every average man you know
Much prefers his lovey dovey to court
When the temperature is low

But when the thermometer goes way up
And the weather is sizzling hot
Mr Pants for romance is not
Because it's too darn hot

I can’t believe that the respectable media parrots the PR crap generated by these cheating dating websites.

Don't forget, "global warming" isn't the issue. It's the CAUSE of global warming that's the issue. My boilerplate argument below.

The claim that there is such a thing as “global warming” is not necessarily invalid. The flawed argument is, “We have a global warming problem and, therefore, government must do whatever it has to do [more interference with individuals’ freedoms] to stop it.” It’s a flawed argument because it contains an unproven and flawed “stealth” presumption that man must be the cause of global warming.

The Left wants the debate kept at whether there’s global warming. We need to turn the debate away from that somewhat silly argument. The argument about scientific data and evidence of whether or not "global warming" exists can go on from now 'till Moses. (The Bible does indicate a warm-up and a rising sea in the last days.) It is really beside the point. The more the Right argues this wrong point, the sillier the Right potentially looks and the stronger this oft-unspoken presumption of man-made causes seems to get.

Instead, the Right needs to steer the debate to where the real point is: THE CAUSE. As there may be some debate about whether there’s global warming, there’s no real true, scientific debate that “man is causing global warming”. Arguments need to be advanced to first get this somewhat stealth presumption "out" into the open and then to defeat this Leftist excuse for more government tyranny over our lives. It should be fairly easy to win the debate over this really silly presumed notion.

I don’t get how they could marry two different men, which they plan to do at some point. They may have two separate brains and personalities, but they only have one set of reproductive organs.
