New to the Anthropogenic Global Warming ™ threads are you?

FYI, for the better part of a year now I have posted on virtually every Anthropogenic Global Warming ™ thread, usually with a variety of links to AGW™ Skeptic sites.

I constantly harangue about how offended I am, as one who has degrees in the sciences, at the prostitution of science to promote the AGW™ hoax and supranational big government.

But you know what? Once in a while you just have to sit back and laugh at the clowns.

Step one: Dumb down the education system in the US so people can not think rationally.

Step Two: Create an imaginary problem so great all US citizens must give up their rights.

Step Three: Erect signs on the borders reading, "Welcome to the Communist States of MexAmerica"

You and your boy John McCain are working overtime on this project.

The irony of the premise of this article is that the elderly and children would be hardest hit without global warming.

Try this thought experiment: Imagine much of North America under a mile or 2 high glacier. Now how are the elderly and children doing?

“I’m unaware of any effect a degree change in environmental temp can have on anyone.”

Cold weather can have a high impact and kill many.
It is not the same, however, with warm temperatures.
The MWP, from about 900 to 1400 was a great period for development in Europe.
It was followed by the little ice age that killed many people.

Cold climate is far more deadly then warm climate.

And if global warming is a hoax, what are the health risks then? Maybe those folks could undertake that study and get back to us with their findings. :)

" Cold weather can have a high impact and kill many."

The effect of GW is one degree >4 decades from now. No one can discern a 1 degree change. If they're cold, or hot, they'll need at least a 3 degree change to feel a slight diff.
