Another day, another “OMG, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO GO TO POT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” climate alarmist report

A new government report says global warming could lead to an increase in both cancer and mental illness worldwide,

The big question is, is there a causal relationship between the warming that has occurred, primarily natural, and those on the political left losing their collective minds over the past 10 years? Anyhow, to finish the above excerpted paragraph, you will be shocked at the recommendation

and it calls for more federally funded research to determine how that might happen.

Really? You don’t say. You want more money to look in your crystal balls to continue pushing your climahysteria? My goodness!

The report, A Human Health Perspective on Climate Change, was published by the Interagency Working Group on Climate Change and Health – a combination of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NIH, State Department, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Agriculture, the EPA, and the Department of Health and Human Services.

The report’s overall thrust is for more federally funded research to investigate the alleged links between global warming and public health, including the potentially negative effects from warming and the potentially negative side-effect of green technologies.

Shocker!

This increased risk (of cancer) supposedly comes from increased exposure to toxic chemicals, caused by global warming. The report also said that global warming would cause heavy rainfall, which would wash these toxic chemicals into the water. Hotter temperatures may also make these toxic chemicals even more toxic.

So, it isn’t actually the globull warming, but the bad chemicals. Perhaps if these moonbat climate alarmists could get back to dealing with real environmental issues, such as……..toxic chemicals!

Another effect of global warming, the report said, was increased mental illness caused by natural disasters. These disasters, which already occur but will be more catastrophic as the world warms, cause stress and anxiety, which can lead to mental illness.

Unfortunately, for the laugh factor, the report doesn’t mention earthquakes and volcanoes.

The people most likely to be affected by global warming-caused mental illness are those already susceptible to mental illness, especially stress-induced mental illness.

This is what is known as Tautology, being able to blame everything on something. Anyhow, one can understand why liberals are so concerned with climate change, considering their shaky mental well being to start with.

“The most common mental health conditions associated with extreme events range from acute traumatic stress to more chronic stress-related conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, complicated grief, depression, anxiety disorders, somatic complaints, poor concentration, sleep difficulties, sexual dysfunction, social avoidance, irritability, and drug or alcohol abuse,” reads the report.

Uh huh. Because Mankind has never had those issues before. But, hey, give the group more money so they can study it even more to come up with a study that says they need more study which means they need more money to study the issue with more money.
