Obesity contributes to global warming: study

Wisdom
Here’s my take: Fat people cause global warming…and skinny people cause global warming. As the article below explains, fat people cause global warming because it takes so much more fuel to ship all that food to keep their massive bellies full. Skinny people, however, are causing global warming because their candy-ass vegan diets are causing their bellies to swell with massive amounts of green house gasses that eventually squeak out through their organic cotton jeans and escape into the atmosphere, threatening all of humanity with their earth-killing flatulence.

Obesity contributes to global warming: study

GENEVA (Reuters) – Obesity contributes to global warming, too.

Obese and overweight people require more fuel to transport them and the food they eat, and the problem will worsen as the population literally swells in size, a team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine says.

‘Fewer hurricanes’ as world warms

Wisdom

Maybe I just don’t understand. Global warming causes more and less hurricanes and tropical storms? More AND Less?!  It seems like just a couple years ago, just after Katrina kicked the folks in the Gulf square in the teeth, the experts told us that the next couple of hurricane seasons would be the worst we’d ever seen. Well, that didn’t happen the first year. Didn’t happen the next year either. So now, it will be not just be more hurricanes, but less hurricanes as well. How could they possibly be wrong with such intellectually sound reasoning such as that?

It reminds me of the rehab scene in Walk Hard: “I’m hot and I’m cold!”  “He’s hot, and he’s cold, Doctor!” “He needs more blankets, and less blankets!” 

There will be more and less hurricanes. Global temperatures will rise and fall. Glaciers will shrink and grow. The holes in the ozone layer get bigger and smaller. It’s all most of our faults and IQ’s are dropping everywhere!

It’s a freaking joke people! They are lying to us to generate grant money, because a mundane future only generates mundane funding! If a researcher wants big money for future research, they have to predict big problems for that future. It’s not science. It’s politics, and it’s socia(environmenta)lism, and we keep falling for it!

The study suggests hurricanes could become less frequent

Hurricanes and tropical storms will become less frequent by the end of the century as a result of climate change, US researchers have suggested.

But the scientists added their data also showed that there would be a “modest increase” in the intensity of these extreme weather events.
