At risk of sounding 'heartless', one tenth of those committed suicides are farmers and agricultural laborers, is that normal? Do we have other statistics to compare it to?
See, even the farmers suicide in India since the last three decades can be blamed (by WaPo) on Trump pulling out of Paris Accord.
Just wait till these 196 (minus US, now probably minus Turkey) countries realize there are NO MORE money to be redistributed (from the US) .......
May be? I’m betting the suicides are related to unicorn problems...
What a freaking joke!!
There was no global warming thirty years ago.
I think they may also be linked to living in India.
Beware spurious correlations! (http://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations)
Correlation = Causation yet again.
How many deaths linked to abortion, WaPo?
There is no global warming now.
Using tragic deaths for political purposes........
How many suicides in the 1800’s??
Liberals were never any good at science, just propaganda.
Panic pushers have blood on their hands.
Absurd claims like these help our side IMO, at least in our country.

Stopped reading right there.....I’m out.
Seriously, though — I think it is much more likely to be linked to Hinduism.
You see, Hindus believe you get a reset when you die; so it’s not as big a deal — not nearly so final — as we Westerners tend to believe.
More automobile accidents occur when more ice cream cones are sold, therefore ice cream cones cause car accidents.
Sheesh do these people think we’re idiots? don’t answer that!
The suicides are linked to the governments price-fixing, small size farms, lack of modern methods in farming and farm produce storage. The net result is tons of small very indebted farmers who cannot see paying off their loans even if their little farm gets a good harvest. Those are the reasons, not “climate change”.

I have been to India. 59,000 farmers offing themselves seems like a low number to me.
Several years ago it was revealed that India farmets were committing suicide because Monsanto’s gmo rice was a disaster for them. Failed crops meant ruin, suicide was the only way to save their family.
I can’t research now , if anyo.e wanted to look this up and start the rebuttal please do, or I’ll be back in a few hours.
