Peggy U. sent me this article.
New Delhi: Establishing a link between climate change and mental health, the World Health Organisation has said extreme weather conditions like floods, droughts and natural calamities can lead to psychiatric illnesses.
Yep! Just look at Pope Albert I of the Church of AGW. He thinks he's the Global Warming Messiah.
"Psychosocial illnesses are a part of the various health issues associated with climate change," Poonam Khetrapal Singh, Deputy Regional Director, WHO, said.
GMAFB! This shit is really getting ridiculous!
Anticipating that severe flooding may become more frequent due to global warming, a WHO report said that independent studies in cyclone-affected Orissa and a flooded town in England has shown that post-traumatic stress disorder syndromes of different severity in affected people even after an year.
As if we don't have enough junk science with "climate change", we are now having spinoff junk science. Here's your opportunity to get in on the ground floor. Be the first shrink in your city to specialize in PTSD relating to climate change. Wonder if there's gonna be franchise fees involved?
I'm sorry. I can't read anymore of this drivel. Read the rest at your own peril.
Posted by denny at April 9, 2008 04:03 PMIn other nu's, if you recall a few months ago, Rachel Lucas did a post about how all this liberal bullshit is directly related to mental illness, which, if you ask me, all these left-wing dooshbags suffer from acutely.
Gah. Stop the madness!
Posted by: Erica on April 9, 2008 04:29 PMI just read a news article that Beer, could be endangered by Global warming!
Posted by: Doug on April 9, 2008 05:45 PMNo surprise here - all this global warming bullshit is driving me nuts!
Posted by: B....... on April 9, 2008 06:23 PMI just read an article in the Dr. office that had the statement "Global warming will be responsible for heavy rainstorms and drought" Had to say WTF?

Yeah, I can see being stressed out after having a cyclone or a flood wreck my house, even a year later with the cost of trying to build a new one.
Posted by: Deathknyte on April 9, 2008 06:34 PMWHO?
WHO said what? Where? When?
If it is true that global warming will affect hops and beer making, I need to get with it.
There is no doubt that if I can't get beer when I want...I'd be a candidate for psychiatric illnesses.
Posted by: Willie on April 9, 2008 06:38 PMWhen you have one successful snake oil salesman about, the rest come out from under the rocks.
If there's anything causing mental anguish it's the doom-and-gloom pervayers of this BS.
Posted by: joated on April 9, 2008 07:10 PMHaven't these nematodes ever heard of Chicken Little ?!?
Posted by: Sandy G on April 9, 2008 07:31 PMI only had two questions:
1) Is there a ground floor opportunity for climatopsychologists?
2) Will climatopsychotherapy be covered under Hillary or O'Bama's universal health plans?
Posted by: Peggy U on April 9, 2008 08:26 PMThere is no doubt that if I can't get beer when I want...I'd be a candidate for psychiatric illnesses.
Willie-
I'm right there with you. Better get the straight jacket handy...
Government complient questions and findings.
It' what Federal research grants were made for.
So you cribbed your way through college and now,
find you can't analyze a petri dish full of
bathroom talc. Never fear, "Global Warming/Cooling/Raining/Snowing/Saharanizing/ever
wobbling/Climate Change is here.
Zilliona in Research Grants now available.

Posted by: Old Soldier on April 9, 2008 11:03 PMOooh Gawd!
According to AOL news, they're all predicting
a horrible Hurricane season due to warm temperatures in the Atlantic. Yes I just read it.
No they are not ashamed of blowing the last 3 years precictions of a bad Hurrricane season.
I sure hope their wrong again this year, but better lay in some extra beer rations just incase.

Posted by: Pete on April 9, 2008 11:26 PMAll the global warming doomers make me grin. Tonight the prediction is for another foot of snow...The real weather is a pain in the butt so enough already with the doom and gloom of the maybe crowd? Sheesh!
On the good news front, I hear that Katie Couric is outta the prime-time ratings bomb biz and maybe she will take over for Larry King. Whew, maybe TDO will have something else to do in the evenings besides come here and insult people and their family members. I'll keep my feeners crossed.
So let me get this straight. WHO claims that global warming, I mean climate crisis, makes some people act like raving foaming-at-the-mouth lunatic assholes.
algore and his Chicken Little envirokooks act like raving foaming-at-the-mouth lunatic assholes.
You know, this might be the first thing about global warming, I mean climate crisis, I actually believe.
Posted by: thatjerryguy on April 10, 2008 09:31 AMDanger Danger - It has been proven that life leads directly to death. While it may take longer for some the odd's are 100% that living on the earth will eventually kill you. Any attempt to avoid death will only prolong the suffering and may lead to stress which will actually speed up the process. So you are fucked you will die. The best you can hope for is that you can find some simple pleasure to distract you as you wait. I have found that wild sex, alcohol and some herbs help. However if you are a liberal democrat extensive masturbation followed by suicide may be your best option. So forget the carbon credit save the earth shit and do your part. Your speedy departure will do more to improve the quality of life for those left behind than any other thing you could ever do in your life .
The beer shortage is supposed to be in Australia; the barley crop is in danger.
The long term trend looks like global warming, but blaming humans still seems like blaming smart mouth teenagers for the volcano gods blowing up.
Posted by: Phillep on April 10, 2008 11:08 AMPhillep - Actually we have had global cooling since 1998. The AGW folks say that we need to look at longer trends, but they themselves do not want to look any further back than the end of the Little Ice Age. Before then it was actually warmer than it is today and somehow the world didn't come to an end back then. AGW is total bullshit and a scam!
Posted by: Denny on April 10, 2008 11:30 AMI have to add to LisaKay's comment. I have tickets to the White Sox game on Saturday, and right now they're calling for a daytime high of 40 degrees. Another balmy day at the old ballpark thanks to global warming.
Darrell is right. If we would all conveintly die, we would no longer exhale and create that dangerous gas that has been proven to cause global warming.
I read something interesting yesterday. If there is a consensus that we are experiencing global warming, then why is Algore spening $300 million to convince everyone. You don't see $300 million being spent to convince everyone that gravity exists.
Posted by: Steve on April 10, 2008 11:30 AMIf we would all conveintly die, we would no longer exhale and create that dangerous gas that has been proven to cause global warming.
I'm not so sure that's true - at least I don't think the "problem" stops immediately when you die. I would imagine decomposition probably releases some CO2.
Posted by: Peggy U on April 10, 2008 12:52 PMPeggy U, I will see you that one and raise you this... When guys crash out/die on the couch, don't they tend to fart and then giggle? Of course, pretty girls like us here don't do that! TDO excluded-her carbon ass print is the largest being that she is the biggest ass around the GOCville.
Posted by: LisaKay on April 11, 2008 08:27 AMJust saw the breakdown of where the money goes per gas dollar: (according to advertisement in National Review)
68% - crude oil
11% - refinery
13% - taxes
8% - Oil Company Profit
I'm in agreement with the WHO. Just hearing about the Global Climate whatev total bullshit makes me mental. I will no longer buy from companies that pay for commercials to tell me how 'green' they are. Enteprise Rent a Car for example-they recieved a caustic letter from le petite moi. I explained that I don't care to hear the BS from a rental car company even though they are willing to pick my ass up for free...how are they going to get back to the airport anyhow? Do they have a fold up bike in the trunk, or are they going to thumb it? I don't even bother with the re-cycle bin on trash day any longer. Sure, the city charges everyone a price for it-but the trash company hires folks to sort and seperate it all anyways. Why take away an illegal aliens job or limit the choices of someone having to do community service? I am civic minded and didn't we all learn that it just isn't nice to fool with Mother Nature after-all? ;) (since when have there been tornadoes in the winter)
