This plug for global warming is brought to you by the Gore Carbon Trading Ponzi Scheme; James Hansen and George Soros co-treasurers.

The 2 Texas cases were from the same lake.....Lake LBJ near Marble Falls in the Hill Country. Severe flooding earlier in the summer left the lake covered with debris and spoiled by chemical and septic inflow.

Judging from the pictures I saw, the lake should have been closed, Further more, the lake, due to extensive rain and cloud cover, had cooler water temps than what they would have been normally.

“’In future decades, as temperatures rise, we’d expect to see more cases.’...In the later stages, they’ll show signs of brain damage such as hallucinations and behavioral changes.”

They left out the most important statistic: 99.99% of Demoncratic Party found to be infected.

They have several amoeba deaths here in Florida every year. Just had a couple in the past month. They warn against swimming in the lakes.

We were in Florida last month and this was on the news. Killed a kid in the Orlando area. I had never heard of it before. Disturbing.

I remember a story just like this from a lake or lakes in central Florida back around 1968 or 1969.

I stayed OUT of that lake!

I pray the family who suffered loss looks to the Lord for comfort and has Christian friends who can support them.

This next comment is off topic:

“The 2 Texas cases were from the same lake.....Lake LBJ near Marble Falls in the Hill Country. Severe flooding earlier in the summer left the lake covered with debris and spoiled by chemical and septic inflow.”

What did you expect from a lake named for the biggest sewer pipe in Texas history?

I’ve always wondered about lake water. I don’t particularly enjoy the though of swimming in boat engine fluids and gasoline, fertlizer runoff, random sewage leakage and, now, ameobas.

Oh, my drinking water comes fom a lake.

Global Warming strikes again. Good grief.
