Extreme weather induced by climate change has dire public health consequences, as heat waves threaten the vulnerable, storm runoff overwhelms city sewage systems and hotter summer days bake more pollution into asthma-inducing smog, scientists say.

Those 'climate models' couldn't even predict the PAST, when given the information that was already recorded! They obviously won't work for prognosticating the climate of the future.

The Pod People and the Borg Collective believe in Global Warming. They think that resistance is futile. Wrong...we are slowly winning. The lack of references to AGW during the recent east coast heat wave is an indication.
