Climate Change May Cause 26,000 More U.S. Suicides by 2050
The Atlantic ^ | July 2018 | Robinson Meyer

Posted on 11/25/2018 6:58:34 AM PST by Baynative

Now, scientists have identified one more way that climate shapes suicide—and, worryingly, they have projected that it will only become more pronounced as suicide rates rise in a rapidly warming world.

The finding has anxious implications for a world whose climate is rapidly changing. The authors project that roughly 14,000 people—and as many as 26,000—could die by suicide in the United States by 2050 if humanity does not reduce its emissions of greenhouse-gas pollution.

“There is just no way to please them.”

Yes there is. Just worship them, tell them they are smarter than everyone, do whatever they say, and never call them out for their hypocrisy and ignorance.

While the real issue we face is 400 years of cooling (ManBearPig Minimum) starting well about now.... in the future, our hindsight will place the start of ManBearPig Minimum about 15-20 years ago, with the start of Sunspot cycle 23), Climate Warming Alarmists should bear in mind what actually would occur in a warming earth.

This would happen in the infinitely minimal chance (IMC, same chance of AGC) of the Earth's orbiting the sun slowing to a stop. Once at a standstill, it would take just over 2 months for the endtimes. The last day (inside the orbit of Mercury) would be interesting indeed. Spoiler: We wouldn't actually make it to crashing into the Sun, because Earth would elongate and fall apart at the Roche Limit.

so is this one of the already “known” 467 negative effects of “global warming”, or is this number 468?

[[suicide rates rise in a rapidly warming world.]]

Rapidly rising- golly, going from say 70 degrees to 70.5 degrees would push anyone over the edge, huh? How in the world have people survived for 1000’s of years in desert areas without taking their own lives due to heat? You would think that people living in tropical climates would be committing mass suicides all these many 1000’s of years- but nope-

Could there be another reason for the rise in suicides? Like maybe kicking God out of EVERYTHING?

Let’s hope those are the whining limp-wristed Anti-fa types who just can’t take the horror of losing 1 degree.

Any wacked-out-crazy, crap-for-brains lunatic can make outrageous statements, believable because of the words ‘climate change’.

Around three years ago I printed that out and pinned it on the bulletin boards at both of our local stores.
Many people read it with most nodding in agreement. The clerks told me no one could find a way to disagree with it.

A year ago both stores were sold. One to a local chain that took down the entire board. The other by a man who only allows business cards and items for sale.
I then printed it out on business card size and gave some to the clerks to hand out. I have to replenish with 200 more every four months as some customers take four or five to hand out.

Your little lesson is getting around.
I don’t take credit for it.
I hope you don’t mind.

This number will be dwarfed in 2020 when President Trump is reelected.

Temperatures have not altered anything in my life time either. The seasons where I grew up in California are constant and the waterlines in the cove on Puget Sound where I used to live have not changed in spite of the universal agreement among liberals that the oceans are rising three or four feet a year.

Whenever I see a statement such as that I insert ‘not’ after ‘may’.

Climate change cannot cause anything.
1. IF it did exist, it would be an effect, not a cause.
2. It doesn’t exist, so it can’t cause anything.

Environmentalist whackos are going to “off” themselves because nobody cares and nobody is listening to their “Chicken Little ‘The Sky is Falling’” bullshit?

Good riddance!

The UN would prefer the number of suicides to be 2.6 billion. That would curtail global warming and we could all go back to playing tiddly winks.
