Climate-related risks to public health in the United States could include a rise in cardiovascular disease in the Northwest, more allergies in Great Plains states, and an increase in drownings in the Midwest, according to a report [1] by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Other potential impacts of climate change include a disruption of community water supplies in Alaska, more cases of dengue fever in Hawaii and West Nile virus in the Northeast, higher incidents of heat stress in the Southwest and increased fish poisoning in the Southeast.

Citing the U.S. Global Change Research Program’s (USGCRP [2]) third National Climate Assessment [3] (NCA), GAO warned that “climate change is expected to impact human health in the United States by exacerbating some existing health threats and by posing new risks.”

Oh yeah, and less sex too. Birds may fly backwards and time will slow down too. Uh, has anyone called the IG to report this massive fraud, waste and abuse of tax dollars. Nah. Probably too busy investigating exxon for being deniers.

If GW causes increases of these things in some places, shouldn’t it cause a DECREASE of them in others? Strange we never hear about that.

LOL! At least it’s the link and not the list. Sadly, there’s a lot lemmings out there more than happy to follow this train wreck off the cliff.

Always leave wiggle room. That way you can’t be held accountable when it DOESN’T happen. You know how they operate.

More drownings. I think if they lowered Lake Michigan a foot, drownings would drop in half, right? Makes Sense. As my son would say: “I know, right?”

I think climate change religion is causing more headaches, greater ibuprofen use.

It “could” also cause demonic possession. Furthermore, just the threat of Global Warming has caused many liberals to slide deeper into insanity.

I would be more concerned with all those that will starve / freeze to death when the next ice age kicks in around 2025 /30 time frame.

Cardiovascular disease? Allergies? But we have Obamacare, why should we be concerned about sickness anymore?

And what will be the actual human toll from the excessive government control the left wants to impose in the name of climate change? You’ll have to pass the legislation to find out.

Yeah, let’s talk about environmental conditions in the former Communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe. Forests in Poland were literally destroyed from coal plants.
