White House: Seven in Ten Doctors Say Climate Change Is Harming Patients
weeklystandard ^ | Feb. 27, 2015 | JERYL BIER

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."

Still pushing the Big Lie to the low information voter.

Meanwhile, ISIS is waging war and capture or kill Christians on a daily basis.

Obamacare is in shambles and the supporters of the fiasco are finding out about the penalties they must pay.

And on and on.

Those seven “doctors” are criminal illegals
cherry-picked for the Tyrant and the McConnell-Obama regime.

Yep, agree with him. I just came back inside from my truck after having spent an hour removing 5 inches of “Global Warming” off my truck’s windshield and windows.

Science?

So... if climate change is causing more asthma, etc,

where’s their “control” where they determine that less asthma occurs without climate change?

This IS “science”, isn’t it?

This reminds me of an actual tv commercial in the mid-Fifties, back when the cigarette companies dominated tv advertising (their commercials were omnipresent and often very creative). One cigarette commercial claimed that “seven out of ten doctors claim that smoking is good for your health”. There’s about as much truth in the crock from supposed “seven in ten doctors” about “climate change” (which used to be called “global warming” prior to the coldest winters in recorded history) as there was in the cigarette ad claims.

What a joke.

If there is more pollen, there must be more plants to absorb CO2. Your logic is flawed.

Were those actual doctors or those actors in white coats the illegal office holder had on the whitehouse lawn from a photo shoot?

Obamacare has rendered doctors serfs. They have their little plot to grow their business, but the king takes most of the output and leaves them with the leftovers.

Do what the king says and don't even think of rebellion.

I know several doctors. From what I know 0 in 10 say climate change is harming anyone or anything.

The Statists have seized upon Global Warming/Climate Change as a likely vehicle to control vast portions of the economy and our lives.

They will not stop until beaten down and their heads cut off (metaphorically speaking, off course). The payoff-is simply too large to quit.

Haven’t you heard? EVERYTHING is caused by globull warming. There was an article the other day that claimed that globull warming was going to cause the ocean waves to stop and end surfing on the California coast.

Are these the same "doctors" who were really White House staff members who donned white coats to fill the Rose Garden seats at that pro Obamacare photo-op years back?
