They’ve already done it. They phased out the inhalers that worked well for these awful things that barely deliver any medication, and cost through the roof.

These do gooders and their stupid climate nonsense will be the death of us. It’s eighty where I live today, with record cold everywhere else, but they are still determined to grease us up anyway.

More easily preventable deaths thanks to the UN and the greenies

millions of asthma sufferers will no longer legally be able to obtain the low-cost albuterol inhalers that enable them to breathe

Bad news is that it's true. The new inhalers suck ass. Almost literally. Sorry for the profanity but honestly I just can't think of a cleaner metaphor that fits properly.

My wife was moved to the new ones by her doctor about 6 months ago and they are completely worthless. Luckily she doesn't have corn allergies though so at least the new one won't kill her immediately. They also cost about $80 to $90 through normal pharmacies as opposed to the $12 she was paying for CFC. So she's getting ripped off while being killed slowly playing russian roulette with the crappy worthless non-working corn ethanol fueled inhaler.

The good news though is that Walmart is going to sell these new crappy ones (if they haven't started already) for about $9, which is $3 cheaper then my wife was paying for the old working CFC inhalers.

Either way they are crappy and will end up killing more people then a hole in the ozone layer ever did.

I’ll do what I can. I’ll paint my Halon fire extinguishers green.

I was trained in the use of CFCs and remember well that — when released to the atmosphere — CFCs are almost six times heavier than air. That meams that released CFC molecules drop and flow downhill just as water does.

Knowing that, I looked for explanations as to how CFC’s might possibly get into Earth’s upper atmosphere to destroy ozone; and found one book that mentioned it. It said that released CFCs could be picked up and lifted by tornados, aka “twisters.”

Beware of “scientists” touting environmental BS ... They are following money.

my hubby has already been switched over and he hates them.

But we must be more concerned over a non-existent ozone crisis than we are for humans who can’t breathe well right?

For some reason, time after time, we keep giving into the stupid liberals and their stupid crises so they can feel good about themselves.

A blast from the past:

Remember the "ozone hole"? That was the global environmental "crisis" that was threatening our planet with an imminent apocalypse — before being replaced by "global warming."

 


Beam me to Planet Gore !
