24 Things the Media Claim Were Caused by ‘Global Warming’
wattsupwiththat.com ^ | 6/22/2014 | Katie Tubb

Posted on 06/22/2014 8:10:11 AM PDT by rktman

It seems like with global warming embedded in our politics (for now), anything we don’t fully understand can now be ‘legitimately’ blamed on the weather. Forget the trusty old excuse about the dog eating your homework: A sampling of news stories tells us instead that global warming might really be the cause of all our problems. Allegedly, thanks to global warming:

Your breakfast got even less exciting. Your morning coffee is going to be more expensive. Also, the cost of cereal could climb by as much as 30 percent because of global warming according to an Oxfam report(their recommendation to General Mills and Kellogg’s: “intensify” effort to cut greenhouse gases, which ironically would also likely increase the cost of cereal and beverages). Thankfully, populations of feral cats and dogs are liable to increase, and these could suffice as possible “bridge food” for climate change refugees.

All Obama f*ckups are due to Global Warming, and NOT due to administration stupidity and/or incompetence.

Anything good that happens in the world, though, is because Obama is brilliant, insightful, powerful, and on top of things.

I know this because I’ve been reading it in the New York Times for six years.

Still waiting for that huge increase in tropical storms they said would we would be hit with for almost a decade. “Katrina is just the start! AHHHHHH!!!”. Been pretty quiet since.

“Climate change means 50, 60 or 70 hot days will happen each year,” McKinnon said. “We know from the science of ergonomics that when it is hot people work less effectively. By the end of the century these losses could represent significant proportions of GDP.”

Wouldn’t that all balance out with our uber-productive Spring and Fall seasons when the weather is wonderful? Conversely, wouldn’t frigid weather cause people to generally work less effectively, as well?

Our Midwest winter lasted about 56 months this season, but I chopped more wood, carried more water and shoveled more snow than ever before, so I was MORE productive...just to keep myself and animals ALIVE!

What a load of crap this global warming stuff is...and yet it is preached like the Gospel!

I’ll repeat a story I have mentioned several times.

My son graduated from Tulane in New Orleans in 2006. Clinton and Bush Sr. were the speakers.

Clinton got an honorary law degree that day which made me laugh.

Clinton said global warming caused Katrina and severe hurricanes would now be commonplace.

He said “global warming started this decade” which means it didn’t exist during his time in office but instead is W’s fault.

I sat and laughed while his adoring fans stood and cheered.

LOL! Jack, I know you have this saved some place so you can simply paste it when the need arises. Beats the list of 24 items the author listed. :>:}

I didn’t see it in the “P’s” but the Filthydelphia Inquirer once had an article claiming that increases in CO2 would cause poison oak, poison ivy, and poison sumac to bloom. I guess they were looking for the black lining in the silver cloud of increased plant growth.

This one?

http://articles.philly.com/2013-07-29/news/40850205_1_climate-change-tree-pollen-national-climate-assessment

For example, studies have shown that increased carbon dioxide supports the growth of poison ivy - another plant that many are allergic to. But so does abundant rainfall, which the region has certainly had this year, resulting in lush vines of the stuff all over the place.

For those sensitive to poison ivy’s allergen - urushiol - studies at Duke University have also shown that increased carbon dioxide leads to increased potency.

The more data researchers analyze, the more evidence that climate change is driving a rise in allergens - and allergies.

With regards to a post from 2009.

I’m sure this list has grown exponentially.

When I can go to a beach on lake Michigan in January and enjoy a warm swim, then I will buy into this...and thank goodness that it’s happening.

Crapping at the mouth has become so commonplace among Democrats that it’s starting to sound normal, even expected. Of course Gore wouldn’t have invented the religion of global warming while his own side was in power.

Somehow that list missed the flipping of the earth’s magnetic field, which is something I saw claimed recently.

According to my calculations, I should be getting an extra 5 to 15 yards off the tee. I can only hope.

What a crock! It was cold here last winter, but nothing like what it was where you are-I could not believe there was still ice on the Great Lakes in May...

In any given summer for as long as I can remember, we have more than 70 “hot” days-it is called “summer” in the Southwest...

We are in a cycle of cold winters here-my Siberian Husky couldn’t wait to bounce out every time I opened the door, while I was freezing in the cold wind walking with her. My neighbors were grooming their horses almost every day to comb out extra hair since April, too...

Technically EVERYTHING is caused by global warming

If the globe didn’t warm, the earth would be a giant frozen dead ice cube (well cube are square, so ice ball) in space
