White House: Climate change causes allergies, asthma, downpours, poverty, terrorism
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/20/2015 | PAUL BEDARD

Stepping up his war on global warming and bolstering the Environmental Protection Agency's plan to put new restrictions on coal-fired energy plants, President Obama Wednesday issued a new report warning that the phenomenon can cause allergies, asthma and foster terrorism.

The report lists at least 34 effects of climate change, a doomsday scenario of health, security, economic and political issues.

"Climate change is contributing to extreme weather, wildfires, and drought, and that rising temperatures can lead to more smog and more allergens in the air we breathe, meaning more kids are exposed to the triggers that can cause asthma attacks," said the White House.

The report was issued in advance of the president's trip Wednesday to New London, Conn., to deliver the commencement address at the United States Coast Guard Academy. It stresses the need to reduce global warming to help reduce national security risks.

It also comes in advance of the EPA's new push to cut carbon in the air. The White House said, "We also need to decrease the harmful carbon pollution that causes climate change. That is why, this summer, the EPA will put in place commonsense standards to reduce carbon pollution from power plants, the largest source in the United States."

Wetlands cause allergies. The inability of people to clean up their property leaves many with serious allergies and non-use of their land...without compensation.

The only thing global warming causes is higher taxes.

"Climate change" causes EVERYTHING bad in the world.

If 'islam' is substituted for 'climate change' in all these dire warnings and news reports, their outlandish claims suddenly become pretty accurate, since islam indeed causes mass forced migrations, kills millions, threatens civilization itself, and is the scourge of the planet which needs to be addressed head-on.

Doesn’t anthropogenic global warming cause rickets? Or is it the other way around? ;-)

‘Climate change’ is code for ‘Islam’. Try it out, it’s uncanny.

This is the natural follow-on to the "It's Bush's fault" mantra.

Now everything natural and unnatural that happens in the world is due to "Global climate change".

Yes, acne is on the list. Unfortunately, since the original URL of the article doesn't work anymore, it's now part of the dead link collection.

So, everything bad? Does this mean that climate warming produced Barack and Michelle Obama?

Sadly, I would say that she is quite typical of the MSM elite.
More broadly, apply her lack of any background in anything even approaching a 2nd grade science class to just about anybody in the “It’s Settled Science” AGW crowd.
