Climate change is no longer controversial – it's happening. And some experts say it's responsible for the spread of Ebola to humans, as well as the increasingly frequent outbreaks of the deadly disease....

Off hand, I'd say not. However, I might contend that liberals' response to it's advent is.

“Climate Change” is the reason for every and any problem we face. Just ask Al Gore.

Note to self: When traveling to that part of the world, don’t drink the water or eat the fruit bats.

Boy, I keep thinking that I've heard it all, and the hysteria-mongers of the world keep one-upping themselves. So far, Ebola is, depending on who's speculating:

Must be the reason why my ass itches lately. GW must also be the reason why we are so afflicted with irritating and dangerous democrats over the last 100 years. MMGW has given us the democrat party and all of the ills they inflict on us.

Yeah, that’s the answer.

Is the Climate Change fraud responsible for massive unemployment?

Nope...Ghusl. (And if you think I’m kidding, look up the practice). This stuff is going to “take off” in a Muslim community right here at “home.” Ebola isn’t “that” contagious unless you purposely spread it with your religious practices,and that is what makes it so contagious in Africa.

“Climate change is no longer controversial – it’s happening.”

Nope.
Weather IS climate, and we’ve been having progressively colder snowier wetter winters.
The theory of GLOBAL WARMING states that as the globe warms up, winter gets less snow, gets warmer.
“Soon, our children won’t know what snow is!!!1!”

And the global “Climate” varies intensely.
We had several ICE AGES, a medieval warm period that was several degrees hatter than now, and prior to the ice ages we had temperatures at least four degrees on average higher than now.
I want to see the SUVs that the dinosaurs had.

Climate Change is more than likely affecting our bowel movements, which in turn is affecting the amount of toilet paper being used. The more toilet paper we need the more trees we must cut down, which in turn affects the climate. /s
