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.
[Snip]
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.

Peter Hitchens refers to these propagandists as “warmists” and in the final paragraph of his Sunday column he noted how their wild claims about ‘climate change’ regarding the hurricane in Texas cast more doubt on the validity of their claims.
Here we go again, more wild claims that only discredit those making them.
Epidemiologist- a person who studies or is an expert in the branch of medicine which deals with the incidence, distribution, and possible control of diseases.
What the hell does his specialty have to do with this study about traffic deaths related to climate change?
Giardian offeres socialist legal defence talking points when charged with causing accident by inattentive driving.
My first thought was along the same lines: “I might be out of toilet paper: Study.”
“Global Warming - is there anything it can’t do?”
Not according to the climate worshipers.....There is only ONE WHO CONTROLS THINGS, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.
Stopped reading right there...
There are a good handful. Here is one:
A [not currently] complete list of things caused by global warming
“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”.
What complete bull $#^%! Reuters buys into this, what a bunch of morons.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
the climate is achieving god status for the left, and an angry god at that. he must be appeased by our sacrifice to him, or he will kill us with . . . whatever.
Finally proof that Climate Change is caused by man, not only do cars cause it, it goes full circle and causes the cars to crash as well
Now we have proved how really evil the car is./sarc
Hat tip to this Yale University epidemiologist, who, retired, needing funds to study U.S. road deaths, used the most popular path effectively to make some dough... by weaving glowBull climate warming into his grant request.
Once again, never forget the impending ManBearPig Minimum (Aka Maunder/Dalton) now approaching us...
My morning constitutional was unusually large.
Damn that Global Warming!
Then my car overheated. I know increased global temperatures were to blame.
Double damn that Global Warming!!
Just when I thought the fools of media could not demonstrate any further lowering of I.Q. ... Not really surprised, since most of the people in media are dumber than a bag of hammers - they merely “feel” they’re intelligent. In reality, they’re used ass wipes.
The temperature today is different from yesterday which also proves climate change is real.
Climate change is real and is not the problem.
The problem is the idiotic idea that the government can stick a half-assed thermostat on the planet and control it’s climate to our benefit.
“Might” = Fake News
Science uses the scientific method.
"Mathematical models" do not use the scientific method.
Any questions?
The climate gods will punish all heretics and nonbelievers!
Climate change might be cause of record U.S. road deaths - studyThey dd a study so it must be true...Nowhere else? Only in the US?
