(CNSNews.com) - White House Science Advisor John Holdren says because of the impacts of climate change, agricultural and construction workers “will basically be unable to control their body temperature and will die.”

“In some parts of the world, when you look more broadly at this question, you see the likelihood that in the hottest times of the year it will be simply physiologically impossible to work outdoors,” Holdren said at a White House event on climate change Monday.

“That means agriculture, that means construction, people who try to work outdoors will basically be unable to control their body temperature and will die. This is a really, really big deal. And it’s going to be a big deal in the hottest parts of the United States as well as the Middle East, in South Asia and other places.”

Well wouldn’t it make sense that if all the farmers die, we all die??? Just sayin’.

Why do we need farms when we have Monsanto?

More people die from freezing than overheating.
And most people die from something else.

And just how stupid does he think Farmers and Construction workers are, that they couldn't drink more water or take other measures if need be.
Downright insulting.

Our soldiers and Marines routinely "work" in the deserts of Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Middle East, in temperatures that make an Iowa summer look like a day at the lake.

So spare me the concern troll gibberish about the horrors of a one-tenth-of-a-degree "heat wave."

Fortunately I am immune to Dihydrogen monoxide, and I try to get rid of as much of it as I can. I flavor it with malt and hops, to cleanse the palate.

What a bunch of junk science. Even if the temperature was to rise the U.S. temperature would rise to what it is around the equator today. And people still work in construction and farming around the equator.

> The White House says the report was developed “by approximately one hundred experts in climate-change science and public health..

Rigghhtttt, "Experts".

I'm considered an expert in my field and have testified in courtrooms. One of the first lessons you learn from being an "expert" is that any of them can be wrong and that they are being paid to give an opinion that is favorable to their client. It's completely biased. I don't even trust experts...lol

Seems like the WH might have considered doing something about jobs so the homeless would not be caught outdoors.

Looking at this guy’s past, what he wants to do is population control.

Science requires data.

Show us the UNALTERED data.

I got stuck many a July day stacking bales in a tin roofed barn. Getting out of there and relaxing in the mere 100° outside temp was a real treat. Never drank more and peed less in my life!
