The Germans for years have had a term for the greens: Watermelons... green on the outside, RED ON THE INSIDE. Time to get rid of the democRATS, since they’ve been taken over by commies, greens, etc. they are the nut case party.

I’ve seen enough doctors and nurses who smoke on their breaks to know that they may be smart enough to get a medical degree and do some admitedly complicated tasks, they still cannot connect basic cause and effect in all areas.

And here in Michigan they're predicting extreme heatwaves in the coming years, putting the low-income and elderly in the danger zone for death.

They can't be sure it will rain tomorrow but gosh durnit they just KNOW there will be extreme heatwaves in the coming years.

I left Michigan. I now live in South Carolina, and my congressman is Joe Wilson. I voted for him, and NOT the Messiah, or anyone else in his nutjob party

If you want the truth about global warming look at the last 20,000 years and not the last 2000.

Their evil, capitalist, white oppressors might exploit them but they don’t apparently miss a lot of meals worrying about it.

Yes. I am. Plus I have asthma (68% lung capacity) and I used to ski. Had to use anti-inflammatories and come down off the mountain after a few hours to keep from triggering asthma attacks.

the 2000 year temperature history is only .0000002 of earth’s history, look at the last 20,000 years to findout we have many degrees to rise to the average 20,000 year climate temperature.

Cold air is actually the #1 cause of asthma attacks.

Are you saying WARM temps actually make people healthier? Are you a doctor?

I have asthma and cold weather DOES bring on asthma attacks, I can verify that.

I've also lived in Arizona, and DUST (there is dust in the desert and there are duststorms) can also bring about asthma attacks.

Anywhere you live in the USA, there are triggers for asthma and allergies (and that was told to me by my ENT doctor).

Cold triggered asthma attacks

Snippet: I quickly learned that respiratory infections such as colds or the flu are one of the many triggers of asthma attacks.  In fact they cause approximately 80% of asthma attacks in children and 50% of asthma attacks in adults.  This is because infections cause your airways to secrete substances that cause excess mucus and inflammation.  This problem is compounded by lungs already affected by asthma because viruses can multiply there faster than in lungs unaffected by asthma.

That link you posted is about virus colds, not cold temperature. LOL. There are a number of things that can trigger asthma, but cold ambient air triggers most cases. It doesn’t have to be frigid air to have a triggering effect. Excercise asthma is considered to be a variant of cold air asthma.

Imbeciles. What’s wrong with warm climates? Michigan was 100% covered by glaciers 10,000 years ago.

And Michigan just had the coldest summer on record. Very few days even got to the mid-80s, and the growing season for all sorts of crops started a month late. But one year makes an iron-clad trend only for liberals.

Thank you, I always say thank God for global warming.

I take my sons to a local nature center in Cleveland that explains the geology of Northeast Ohio. 10,000 years ago the entire Great Lakes region was covered by 20,000’ of Ice. That is FOUR Miles of ice people. I can only imagine the amount of SUV’s and coal fired plants it took to melt all that Ice and give us the four seasons of the year. God these people are fools, plain and simple.

You’d almost think they were 6000-year creationists from the way they carry on.

Blame global cooling on global warming, of course.

SEIU, is pathetic. Sorry that it has the power of persuading people.

Could it be we (all ages) are in better shape and not grossly overweight BLIMPS?

C'mon, Sand Rat; lay off the cheap shots! That blubber is what makes all the difference between just shivvering, or freezing to death in those brutal Michigan winters!

It is also why they drop from heat stroke when it gets above 80.
