Sorry, Mr. President, Global Warming Didn't Cause Malia's Asthma

Hot Air: President Obama says we must tackle global warming because it's already causing asthma rates to climb. But his argument is full of holes. In any case, didn't the U.N. climate chief say we need to depopulate the planet?

...and heavy drug user.

"So, maybe asthma rates go up due to the cleaner air. This could work in much the same way that cleaner water in the early 1900s led to polio."

Who's to say the air is cleaner? I don't think it is. I think the gov is dumping on us chemicals which we cannot see nor smell.

My county has the cleanest air. It also has the most people with lung disease. Doesn't make sense does it?

Question is, What's in those contrails?

Painted barns with lead based paint.

That stuff used to be durable as hell, just like when they had asbestos in roofing materials.

And of course likely a bit of mold in the nearly 100 yr old Obama mansion in damp lakeside Chicago.

Oh, no, please, it is a runaway positive feedback, global warming causes fires and fires cause global warming! We’ll all be roasted alive.

not to mention it made the paint taste good, maybe that’s why kids don’t eat much paint anymore.

At this point in time there is more pollution inside buildings, due to such things as chemical fumes, cigarette smoke, mold spores and cockroach dust, than there is outside, except in isolated locations.

The alleged link between global warming and wildfires has been so thoroughly debunked that even the IPCC no longer makes the claim.

[webheart]

Yes, but asthma is an immunological response. It can be triggered by both irritants and organisms.

I know, I often have asthma attacks after sex. Oh, you said orgaNIsms.

This nonsense is just a horrible failure of a president trying to fabricate a legacy; just as his accomplishments are a list of intangibles (”jobs saved” versus “jobs created” while the economy stalls for its seventh year under him, for example), the environment will be touted as an accomplishment because the sun didn’t die on his watch. We’ll hear how everybody is healthier during his tenure (I don’t remember shows like “My 600 Pound Life” during any other president’s watch), and they’ll simply invent meaningless charts and graphs to support that contention...
