Hardly a day goes by that the media don't blame something on global warming. Or so it seems. The British-based science watchdog, Number Watch, wondered just how many and went to the trouble of documenting them.
It has kept on its Web site a near-comprehensive set of links to a long list of things attributed by either scientific research or the media to global warming. As you read it, some items will strike you as contradictory. Others, perhaps, as merely absurd. And still others as factually impossible.
However they strike you, in perusing the list one thing will become clear: just how much the fear of global warming has come to taint both science and news reporting on the issue.
Following is the list of phenomena (756 entries in all) linked at one time or another to warming. They range from acne, bubonic plague and a drop in circumcisions to Yellow fever, whale beachings, walrus stampedes, witchcraft executions and the threat of zebra mussels.
Actual links to stories that make the claims listed below can be found at http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/warmlist.htm. (Below the list are some claims that no longer have working Internet links.)

Considering that, "the interior of the earth is extremely hot - several million degrees" - Al Gore - it wouldn't surprise me if another 0.18 degrees led to a nuclear chain reaction.
I blame Steve Garvey.
In MA, to clear mall parking lots, they push the snow up into huge piles that last long after the rest of the snow is gone.
My son and his buddies invited me to meet them at one of those malls for an afternoon of offroad 4-wheeling (in abandoned gravel pits) with their SUVs and specially rigged-up plckups.
When I arrived, there was one of the guys in his short-bed Ford truck, sitting far above the other vehicles -- right atop one of those mountains of ice.
That bear appears to have that same "Hold muh beer and watch what I can do!" look... '-)
