In case you haven’t noticed, climate alarmists truly amuse me. And like a good comedian, they never fail to bring the funny. Mother Nature Network brings the comedy gold told, with 8 ways climate change can kill you
It’s getting hot in here…..In fact, the World Health Organization estimates that 150,000 people are already killed by climate change-related issues every year, and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said that global warming poses as much of a threat to the world as war. (The climate has probably been killing that many or more every year since the dawn of Mankind.)- Extreme weather: Tornadoes, volcanoes and hurricanes, oh my! NASA climate models predict that a warmer planet means more severe storms with strong winds, heavy rain, damaging hail, deadly lightning and increased potential for tornadoes. Melting ice and rising sea levels can also affect the Earth’s crust, causing land to rebound and triggering volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis. (And many studies say that is complete bunk. This is climahysteria at its worst)
- High temperatures (wait, isn’t this the same as “it’s getting hot in here?”)
- Difficulty in food production: As temperatures rise, droughts become more common and destructive storms become more frequent, it will be increasingly more difficult to produce food. (and when it gets cold, like during the Little Ice Age, people have trouble raising food. People adapt. Anyhow, if that’s the case, why are we wasting food by turning it into crappy fuel?)
- Animal attack: there have been multiple bear attacks in the U.S. this year, and wildlife officials are advising people to put away birdseed and secure their trash to discourage the animals. Why are bears so hungry? Because berries, pinecones and nuts are in short supply due to poor growing conditions caused by climate change. (it couldn’t have anything to do with man encroaching on nature, could it? Maybe people should be cautious around wild animals with nails like kitchen knives)
- Poor air quality: Death by smog will become increasingly common on an overheated planet — warmer temperatures help intensify smog levels. In fact, doctors have said that smog-related deaths could rise by 80 percent over the next 20 years. (there’s that heavily scientific word “could” again.)
- Lack of clean water: Floods and other changes in weather patterns will affect the quality of water, making clean water scarcer than it already is, and devastating droughts will exacerbate the situation.(And when it gets really cold, water is locked up in ice. Good thing modern society is capable of making water potable, unlike during the middle ages, which is where the alarmists want to take society)
- Disease: Global warming may be bad news for us, but it’s good news for disease-carrying mice, rats and insects. Warm-weather insects like ticks and mosquitoes used to be restricted to tropical areas and were killed off in the winter, but they’re now living longer and migrating farther north. (Ticks and mosquitoes are tropical weather insects? That’s weird, I distinctly remember them while growing up on the Jersey shore. I remember Mom doing a tick check after playing in the woods up at my godfather’s camp on Long Lake, NY. Oh, I also remember a bear snuffling around the buildings. That was around 1974.)
- Wars – because war never happened before man caused global warming.
Oh, wait, that’s 9 things. Perhaps they meant #1 to be the overall scheme? Regardless, Mother Nature Network and the other alarmists always tell us what we should do, never what they themselves are doing to mitigate their carbon footprint.
And, hey, nothing about pirates? What’s up with that?
One of the comments
For 24 years we could have addressed birth control, not climate control because over population was the REAL issue we ALL could have agreed on but we ended up wasting a quarter of a century on weather control instead of population control, because of irresponsible CO2 environwMENTALism.
You first, chump.
Crossed at Right Wing News and Stop The ACLU. Re-Change 2010!
Did you know that a lot of stores are closed on Sunday, because of global warming?
Da@%^it! There is a board on the front of my house that has a rotten spot in it. Curse you, global warming!
‘for 24 years we could have addressed birth control’….
A million murders a year is not enough, apparently. The greying of Europe isn’t enough, because muslim childbirth is thru the roof. Taking food out of the mouth’s of millions of Brown and Black people, via ‘biofuels,’ is not enough. China’s ‘one child’ policy couldn’t even make a Dent in population growth.
Where did they waste a quarter century on weather control? Does this guy have insights on top-secret testing that we don’t know about?
Is there a Single AGW cultist who lives in the real world?
I know ‘lil LIAR doesn’t….
Notice how malaria is going to increase yet at the same time the world is going to turn into a desert. The two concepts don’t go together. Also, the fact that there will be more water available and not locked up in ice, but there will be a drier enviroment. That is the problem with the whole AGW concept, so many bad things are going to happen that if makes these people look like fools.
Malaria triggers a memory. Remember in the 60’s when Buck wrote the book “Silent Spring” and the liberals went nuts and eliminated DDT? That little spasm cost about 50 millions people their lives and they still have not allowed DDT. In fact, we have a growing bed bug and insect problem due to the FDA banning effective insecticides.
One of the things I forgot to mention, but we all know, is that one of the worst plague times occurred during the Little Ice Age. Flees loved that time period, and rats proliferated, precisely because of the climate.
More Carbon Come idiocy. Add them to the list.

YES TEACH!!! Bout time for a decent pic!!! Bravo my friend.
Kevin, I feel your pain. My tv died last year because of the Global Climate Disruption from an increase in Global Climate Change.
Then just this year, I had to take my 3 year old car in for a tune-up for the first time!! Global Climate Change was stated as the reason by the technicians. If climate never changed, I wouldn’t have need for a tune-up.
What I am fearing most, is that ever since last week, I fear we may be going in to a massive Global Cooling period. Don’t laugh. Haven’t you too felt the cooling of the temperature? I am fearful that we may have hit our high for the year and it will be all downhill from here.
This is scary serious stuff people.
Oh, and Teach, #3 is different than #1. #1 entails the global heating inside buildings. #3 is the global heating outside. But then, am wondering how #5 is diff than #3. As we all know from the killer-animal movies of the 60s-70s from US and Japan, .. the animals know when man is destroying THEIR Earth.
That one is bit older. I thought about making a new one, but, why fix perfect? :)
