Now ... maybe you Freepers will start to take this global warming crap seriously!

Climate change - not increased use of cell phones - might be to blame for an unusual spike in road deaths that hit the United States two years ago, said a study published on Thursday.
The study said people might have used their vehicles more frequently to avoid increasingly bad weather - rising temperatures and heavier rainfall - resulting in an increased number of deaths on the road.
The finding challenges a widespread notion that 2015's hike was the result of increased cell-phone usage by motorists.

Using mathematical models, the retired Yale University epidemiologist also found that for every additional inch (2.5 cm) of rainfall, cars and trucks racked up an average of 66 more miles (105 kms) per motorist for a year.
Hotter than normal outdoors temperatures likely accounted for most of the extra deaths in 2015, Robertson said.

What a pant-load.
Global Warming - is there anything it can’t do?
I totally believe this. I also blame my hemorrhoids on global warming.
“Malo” means “evil” in Spanish.
Unbelievable. Literally, and hyperbolically. They will blame anything and everything on their nature god of wrath.
Unique among “everything is caused by global warming” articles in that the title actually uses a modal verb instead of one that expresses definite certainty.
Not paying full and active attention to the road can kill you. Cars have air conditioning.
might have used their vehicles more frequently..
likely accounted for..
Yup, it's
SETTLED SCIENCETM
Yes, it can't seem to warm the planet as the computer models predict. Other than that, it can do anything. It's almost magical in its power. I wouldn't be surprised at this point if global warming made the sun come up in the east tomorrow morning. That will show us deniers how wrong we have been.
Is there a complied list of all of the things global warming was said it could, will or might do? Does it fill a hard drive yet?
I am old enough to remember when SUV’s and George Bush were the cause of everything.
Ahhhh, for the good old days!
WTF?
I blame it on electric cars.
They’re creating electromagnetic fields and attracting or repelling other electric cars.
Don’t you all understand.
Science no longer needs to find a cause with empirical facts. Mere statistical correlation is now sufficient “evidence”.

Me thinks he is simply bored and figured the best way to get some press and accolades is to wrote a "climate Change" article...
It's a dessert topping! It's a floor wax!
Weather is not climate change.
