Do they seriously want me to believe that a kidney stone can form in a matter of weeks?

Look for more cases of dehydration, too. When the temperatures go up....blah, blah, blah!

These people have no shame.

I’m just wondering if, during this short time, they monitored other external factors - like water supply, food intake and source, medicines taken, a whole plethora of things. Examine the source of the money, and you’ll have your answer.

It's been known for more that 20 years that kidney stones are more prevalent in the SE United States than in other areas. Temperature is one suspected reason. Also diet and minerals present in the water.

I've had three, and all presented in the summer.

Found some work of his and another researcher released in March of this year. “Evaluation and Medical Management of Kidney Stones in Children”.

It has a lot of specifics about chemical makeup of the stones and the distribution of compounds, but it says that more study is needed [the standard “go to” conclusion in most any externally funded research paper].

Frankly, making this leap of mean temperature vs. cities and occurrences of kidney stones, etc. seems just too convenient for the Global Warming alarmists. I’m thinking this is more Poli-Med science than medicine, myself.

“I’ve had three, and all presented in the summer.”

AlGore would disagree. He says you’re getting all these stones because of the pickup truck you drive. Time to add extra heat shielding to your transmission tunnel.

And it wouldn’t hurt to wear fireproof undies either.

Yes, but is “Global Warming” responsible?

It sounds like we need to outlaw warm weather.

Even by their own hoax-estimates, they are talking about global changes of 1-2 degrees centigrade.

Moving from Boston to Miami you will experience much more temperature change yearly than the 1-2 degrees estimated by the climate fraudsters.

So my question: does moving to Miami cause Kidney stones?

So people in the tropics are heavily afflicted by kidney stones? Rates are higher in FL than ND? No? Well then, no correlation to heat.

Fewer redheads and more kidney stones.

Is there anything global warming climate change can't do?

> doctors at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and elsewhere who’ve completed a seven-year-long

Multiple doctors funded over seven years? And there’s no money in global warming? Anyone who studies anything is probably trying to find even the loosest connection to temperature.
