Prediction: Global Warming Will Cause Everything
The American Thinker ^ | June 26, 2012 | Daren Jonescu

Posted on 06/26/2012 1:11:15 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

The following news headline appeared on the internet last week: "Scientists warn global warming will fuel spread of ticks that carry Lyme disease."

The corresponding article begins this way:

Another effect of climate change may be crawling up your leg this summer as you frolic in the woods.

Scientists say our warming world is speeding the spread of ticks that carry potentially debilitating Lyme disease.

Okay, given that many in the climate change fraternity -- including, famously, Phil Jones of East Anglia University -- have been forced to concede that global warming has been on "pause" since 1995, how exactly is it "speeding the spread" of disease-carrying ticks?

Don't read this news article for an answer. In fact, from the third paragraph on, the article is a straightforward discussion of the slow spread of the tick population into various southern regions of Canada, and the new risk of Lyme disease that this brings. There is no further mention of global warming, and no attempt is made to establish a significant relationship -- or even a coincidental one -- between the movements of the ticks and changes in mean annual temperatures in the relevant regions.

So why mention global warming in this context at all? Because the first rule of all modern discourse related to weather, disease, happiness, poverty, famine, wildlife, or almost anything else is that tribute must be paid to the god Climate Change Theory. One cannot discuss the spread of disease without mentioning climate change. So the article mentions it. No further reason is required. It is simply a matter of faith, of public policy, and of good breeding to acknowledge climate change as a preface to any observation about anything.

This article is totally untrue and without merit.

George Bush is the cause of everything.

About a third to a half, I’d imagine. Some of the stuff is super interesting and I really get a charge out of a lot of it because I do see some amazing cutting edge stuff — but there is so much of it that is just plain dreck.

Oh well... it pays the bills.

Everyone needs to understand the main product that “green” people hope to generate from “alternative energy sources” -

false righteousness.

These alarmists seem to forget that global warming will reduce snowshoe accidents, falls on icy sidewalks, the importation of long underwear from China and likely boost domestic beer sales so it is not all bad.

Two words -- grant money.
Absolutely. The Religion of Global Warming has an absolute lock on all the grant money available to any scientific research in any field that can remotely touch on the subject of Global Warming.

It's like the Catholic Church in Europe in the 9th Century.

Two words -- grant money. You could reduce that to one word - money. I was at a convention in Seattle yesterday sponsored by BOMA - Building Owners and Managers Association. The theme was "Green Environment" and there were hundreds of vendors there promoting everything from new products to energy reduction equipment and software management programs for hotels, business buildings, malls etc..

In the middle of it all was a both for a climate company selling carbon credits. It was a lonely place for the two guys in the booth ...lots of snickers as people walked by, even here in Seattle.

You forgot zombies. Here is a slight rewrite of the original tick article:

Another effect of climate change may be trying to eat your brain this summer as you frolic in the woods.

Scientists say our warming world is speeding the spread of infectious zombies that carry potentially deadly zombie disease and are animated cadavers that eat brains.

Dr. Robbbin Lindsay-Lohan, of the Zombie Control Agency of Canada who specializes in zombie disease, said the populations of the festering undead that carry zombie disease (sometimes called bath salts abusers) are growing.

“I myself have been studying zombies for over 20 years and we have seen a tremendous change in the range and expansion of these zombies,” Lindsay-Lohan said from the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg.

The festering zombies that carry the zombie disease bacteria used to be largely restricted to the southern United States.

Zombies are named after the town of Zombieville, Haiti, where a number of the recently deceased were resurrected with unexplained zombieism in the early 1970s. Researchers James Hanson of NASA (GISS), and Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University were able to quickly fabricate thousands of years of data to make the correlation between the zombie apocalypse and man made global warming.

Hahahahaha...

"...The festering zombies that carry the zombie disease bacteria used to be largely restricted to the southern United States..."

Being a New Englander, it is my experience that most southerners would say the NORTHERN United Stated has the most zombies...:)

They’ve spread, for example, if you ever ask for road directions in Maine.

“Sorry, you can’t get there from here. Braaainnnsss.”

Or perhaps looked for a hot date in Northampton.

“Men are piiigs. Female Braaainnnsss.”
