Washington Post: Global Warming Forces Farmers in India to Commit Suicide
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | August 2, 2017 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 08/02/2017 2:21:40 PM PDT by Kaslin

RUSH: Did you see this in the Washington Post? Here’s the headline: “59,000 Farmer Suicides in India Over 30 Years May Be Linked to Climate Change, Study Says — Every year thousands of Indian farmers…” We’re talking about the country of India not our Native American ancestors. “Every year thousands of Indian farmers commit suicide. Now one researcher,” and it makes the Washington Post. One idiot thinks that “it may have,” it might have, it could be (it could also be BS) “have something to do with climate change.

“Tamma Carleton, a researcher at the University of California at Berkeley, compared almost five decades worth of suicide and climate data and concluded that temperature variations in India may have ‘a strong influence’ on suicide rates during the growing season. … Carleton’s findings are particularly worrisome and come just two months after the Trump administration pulled out of the Paris climate accord…” (laughing)

This is absurd! So two months after Trump pulls out of Paris Agreement, some wacko from Berkeley comparing climate data temperatures and suicides concludes that there’s a link between farmer suicides in India to climate change and Trump pulling out of the Paris Agreement. And the Washington Post makes a serious news story out of it! Next thing you know, we’re gonna get stories about fish in the caskets of the Indian farmers who committed suicide because sea level is rising in the middle of India.

Isn’t the Amazon Post one of the Agenda 21 propaganda outlets that’s always urging population reduction?

It was never hot in India until the automobile was invented.
Even then it was never as hot as since Trump dumped the Paris Accords.

If Trump makes another tweet about climate change it may get hotter than the surface of the sun in India.

It's science!

Okay then, since AlGore is the father of global warming he should be held responsible and sent to India to be tried in their courts.

Indirectly. Everyone knows that global warming causes warts, especially to those working in the sun. When farmers get too many warts, he can’t get girlfriends. Then he has to pay for it. Gets syphilis, goes crazy and commits Hari Kari. True science.

Farmers are 50 percent of the population of India and commit 10 percent of the suicides. Nice try, Washpost. Now here is a lovely all-day sucker for your efforts.

The Washington compost is making the national enquirer and the weekly world news look like respectable newspapers. . . .

"We’re talking about the country of India not our Native American ancestors."

Native Americans didn't farm. And they're better described as 'aboriginal Americans', since that specifically refers to indigenous inhabitants before the age of European colonization. I'm a native American in the sense that I was born here. But like everyone living here, the ancestors of aboriginal Americans migrated here at some point in history, only theirs did a 10 or 20 thousand years before mine.

Trump came to power using Twitter.
Twitter only exists on the internet.
Algore invented the internetz.
Therefore Algore is destroying planet earf.

The logic is inescapable.

FWIW Algore was exiled to earf from his home planet which he nearly destroyed.

You know, if you applied to the government, you could get a grant to further explore your thesis. I, as an American taxpayer, would welcome such an expenditure of public funds.

Yahbut Trump caused gorbal warming by using bulldozers to make buildings and Sessions made it worse with all those crosses he burned. Trumps whole family is guilty by association and all of the Cabinet members are too because they all drive cars and own houses. So we really need war crime trials and for Hillary to take over because she doesn’t do anything.

Nothing or nobody can force a suicide (unless it’s arkancide).

If they grew hemp, some of them farmers could make some good money in the rope market.. at the expense of other farmers.. but Hey,, Life is not fair.. Just ask furloughed and fired former American IT workers replaced by foreign imported ones in good paying jobs and welcomed to forage in more fertile fields..

Native Americans didn't farm.

Somebody wasn't paying attention in grade school when the story of the Pilgrims being taught to grow corn by the Indians was told. Over and over and over again.

From wikipedia:
