From the AMERICAN COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS and the “how do people survive the climate change when they move from New York to Miami?” department, comes this warning that has all these deaths attached to the press release. As I said about a similar press release wailing about potential excess deaths earlier today, show me death certificates that puts climate change as the cause.

ACP decries devastating impact of climate change order

Washington (March 28, 2017) President Trump’s executive order on climate change will have a devastating impact on public health, said the American College of Physicians (ACP) today. President Trump signed an executive order directing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to roll back the major ways that the U.S. is combatting air pollution.

“Today’s executive order moves us in the wrong direction on this issue,” said Nitin S. Damle, MD, MS, MACP, ACP President. “It signals a retreat from our nation’s efforts to curb carbon emissions and address climate change. Climate change is a problem we should be attacking aggressively on a global level.”

In a 2016 paper, Climate Change and Health, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, ACP outlined the negative consequences that climate change will have on public and individual health. The paper cited higher rates of respiratory and heat-related illnesses, increased prevalence of diseases passed by insects, water-borne diseases, food and water insecurity and malnutrition, and behavioral health problems as potential health effects of climate change. The elderly, the sick, and the poor are especially vulnerable.

The executive order specifically directs the EPA to rewrite, and presumably, loosen the standards set forth in the Clean Power Plan. As cited in ACP’s paper, implementing the Clean Power Plan in the U.S. would avoid 3,600 premature deaths, 1,700 heart attacks, 90,000 asthma attacks, and 300,000 missed work and school days.

“Climate change is real, is largely the result of human activity, and is affecting our health now. ACP is very concerned about the harmful health effects that climate change is having on our patients,” continued Dr. Damle. “We need to take action now to protect the health of our community’s most vulnerable members — including our children, our seniors, people with chronic illnesses, and the poor — because our climate is already changing and people are already being harmed.”

As a physician I can confirm that most doctors don’t support the crap political opinions put out by our natural organizations. These organizations are for arranging continuing education courses, to allow group insurance rates, and because provide for fellowship designation of credentials. They need to shut up about politics. There is an ongoing battle about this and how much they charge in fees. It’s the reason that many who can are leaving these groups.
They are part of the swamp.

“how do people survive the climate change when they move from New York to Miami?”

I'm what some call "elderly" - I'm retired. I just moved from Michigan to south Texas where I've experienced an average annual temperature increase of about 24 degrees F. I'm doing quite well, thank you.

Questions for climate change morons:

What is the optimum rainfall for Topeka, Kansas, in May and how do we achieve it?

How much sunshine and cloud cover is ideal for Waupaca, Wisconsin, in the first week of April, and why?

How do we turn off excessive snowfall for Buffalo, New York, and why is it excessive?

Effn “A” climate change is real. It just changed while I typed that.

What a bunch of wacko idiots.

I wonder what these dumb bastards say about the federal government burning slash from logging operations around Flagstaff AZ? Or slash burning across all federal lands?

Oh you should see the glee in these freaks eyes when they go out to light those slash piles on fire. No reason for it at all. They promply light them up and burn every GD tree around them.

The paper cited higher rates of respiratory and heat-related illnesses, increased prevalence of diseases passed by insects, water-borne diseases, food and water insecurity and malnutrition, and behavioral health problems as potential health effects of climate change. The elderly, the sick, and the poor are especially vulnerable.

We could easily change that to read, "Due to the upcoming Dalton-like Minimum, there will be higher rates of respiratory and cold-related illnesses, increase prevalence of hypothermia, increase prevalence of animal attacks by critters looking for warmth, water-borne diseases due to increased water main breaks, food and water insecurity and malnutrition, and behavioral health problems -- e.g., cannibalism by starving, cold people and killing of infants -- as potential health effects of global cooling. The elderly, the sick and the poor are especially vulnerable."

Trump's actions are actually helping to ward off such a disaster.

I get kind of a queasy feeling thinking that a physician might be dumb enough to fall for such shoddy #FakeScience as Global Warming.
