Usually when the Obama administration is discussing doctors and health issues, Obamacare is on the table. Thursday, however, the White House threw a curve by linking health to climate change. In a new blog post, the White House declares that "7 out of 10 Doctors [say] Climate Change Is Already Harming Patients’ Health." While often the White House has been a source of upbeat reports on recent health improvements attributed in part to the Affordable Care Act, the language of this post stands in sharp contrast. For example:
"Already, 1 in 10 children in the U.S. suffers from asthma. Heat-related health problems are growing. Pollen concentrations are up. Rising temperatures are only going to bring more smog, more asthma, and longer allergy seasons that put more Americans at greater risk of landing in the hospital."
"...increases in air pollution due to climate change are worsening the severity of illnesses in their patients, and they expect these health impacts will further increase in the future."

Well, I hurt my back the second time I had to shovel snow off of my roof....
Does that count?
Loony Left Ping.
Bookmark for when I need a laugh.
This is just another move to finish off the Puppet’s 2nd term.
FCC was this week, a ‘deal’ with Iran is next, perhaps another Israel-undermining ‘deal’ with the Paleos later this year...
...and Carbon Taxes coming end of the year or first of next year.
And who’s going to stop it?
(the latter is cynical sarcasm)
It is. All this cold is making my hands hurt so to warm them up I have to log off FR and go handwash the dishes.
Nonsense! I PERSONALLY interviewed 10,000 doctors just yesterday and 99% said that the White House is staffed by idiots and the patients are all just fine.
So doctors are now climate experts? BS.
In claiming the increase in asthma is caused (partly) by a rise in temperature that would mean that people, in general, have asthma more in countries with higher temps? Is that true? If not, it’s a total lie.
I had a relative send a FB post recently, asking people to fast in respect to those “suffering most” due to climate change. What!!?! Isn’t the doom-gloom predictions all based on FUTURE events? Who, right now, are victims of climate change? I want to know.
Then we have a LOT of STUPID Doctors!!
Global Warming on Free Republic
So, the Green people are now saying that pollen is a problem, so what we need is fewer plants? Is that about right? Is that a Green idea?
These people don’t know what they want.
I've always said a lot of doctors aren't too bright. Or did they actually mean the HOAX is stressful or in some other way physically harmful to the patients?
This list is almost becoming longer than the Bush’ fault library.
Of course, with Obamacare, any doctor who wishes to continue to practice had better toe the Party line.
