Clearly you are heaping unfair criticism on the Bush people. No bean supplier would order you out for your anthropogenic methane.

A number of studies have suggested that climate change could expand the range of tropical diseases like Dengue fever and Encephalitis. Now a researcher from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia says that global warming could lead to an increase in HIV infection rates worldwide.
In a panel discussion between top HIV researchers, Professor Daniel Tarantola said that warming could strain already meager health and social resources in the world's poorest and most vulnerable countries, worsening the incidence of HIV and other diseases.
"It was clear soon after the emergence of the HIV epidemic that discrimination, gender inequality and lack of access to essential services have made some populations more vulnerable than others. These problems have not gone away," Professor Tarantola said. "Today, additional threats are lurking on the horizon as the global economic situation deteriorates, food scarcity worsens and climate change begins to affect those who were already dependent on survival economies.
"Climate change will trigger a chain of events which is likely to increase the stress on society and result in higher vulnerability to diseases including HIV," he said.

Oh, I think that's exactly what's going on. Unreal.
If it’s hot people will wear less clothing. This will incite them to have more sex...
Am I close?
I heard “global warming” can also lead to hairy palms and blindness.
Okay, can we make a new list of things that GW does not cause?
global warming I’m sure will also find a way to cut into my fast food and Russian porn budget. Maybe if I write a pseduo scientifc article with some fake but hard to track down references I’ll be able to get a mutli-million dolalr grant.
My budget problem will be solved ... wait maybe thats why all of these global warming studies are coming out ... nah it could be. Could it?

Just support Global Warming until you need glasses. :)
Clearly you are heaping unfair criticism on the Bush people. No bean supplier would order you out for your anthropogenic methane.
Am I close?
Nope, note even close. You are using logic. Global warming disicples have no room for logic.
Maybe somebody’s under the influence.
It would depend on what the people look like.
Yeah, it's got to be much shorter than the list of things that are caused by globull warming.
Out of all the human behaviors that feed the horrid plague of Aids, the left wing nuts focus on carbon emissions.
How can you argue against such stupidity? Where can you start with a mind that can reach such a conclusion?
Moonbat science marches on.
It’s lack of bush’s fault.
... ... ... ... ... ...
Ha. Happy to steal what’s still one of my all time favorite lines ever written on FR. Only problem is I’m too lazy to queeery for the original author.
"Apparently the cause, the nexus of all things, has been and is caused by "Global Warming".
Said Mr. Al Gore who pouted as he lay around the campfire with his brain dead friends in a drug induced haze..
So what exactly is this chain of events? How do you get from point A to point Z here? Global warming causes more stress, so people have sex to relieve the stress, therefore increasing their vulnerability to HIV (um, although I think that would depend on whom they have sex with)? Is that it? I don't get it. Of course, I assume I'm not really supposed to, and I'm not supposed to question it either. Just nod and agree.
To inject a bit of logic into the absurdity, I would think that global cooling would be the more likely culprit. Gotta get warm somehow, if you know what I mean.
Why, is it going to get everyone hot and bothered?
“global warming could lead to an increase in HIV infection rates”
That would be a pain in the butt.
It would be a shorter list, that’s for sure.
There is only one thing......................intelligence, apparently.
What on Earth are those Polar Bears up to?
Two scientists attending a convention, sitting at the bar between sessions. One says to the other, “I have a really fascinating study I want to do, but I can’t get any grant money to finance it.” The other says, “If you want grant money, tie your study to AIDS or global warming in some fashion.”
Result: “Global warming could worsen HIV/AIDS epidemic”
With regard to this crap about global warming spreading tropical diseases. Malaria used to be very common in the Northern U.S., Northern Europe and Russia. The only reason that it is a tropical disease is that those are the last places people have made any effort to wipe mosquitoes.
“Okay, can we make a new list of things that GW does not cause?”
1. Unity
Is there ANYTHING that is not caused by global warming?

Man you got that right.
What do you think boardroom meetings are like at the Bush's Baked Beans corporation? Do you think they 'toot' a call to order? If anyone has a point to put forward, do they announce it with flatulence?.....
You might want to add: jungle rot, creeping crud and fallen arches.
And on the other hand, GW could lessen the spread of diseases such as HIV,,,,,
These idiots haven’t got a clue, but always take the side of bad outcomes. They have to in order to fit the template.
Nice try! But since there IS no AIDs epidemic and HIV doesn’t cause AIDs, and AIDs is not a sexually transmitted disease, I think we can toss this one in the trash.
Why isn’t the headline “Global warming leads to more sex”?
Somehow, the facts that it was much hotter not that long ago, and there were no mass extinctions, shore flooding, wired diseases and loss of life seems to have escaped these “researchers”. They also seem to have forgotten why Greenland was named. I used to think that scientists were many moral cuts above... but apparently they will do anything to further their careers - just as politicians. Bummer.
Well, the environmentalists said that the Earth was overpopulated, so why would they object to higher rates of HIV, especially since it would check population growth in the long run? Oh, wait, I forgot: the environmentalists only want Westerners to stop having children so that Westerners and Christians go extinct.
So global warming causes homosexuality. I would think it should be celebrated then.
