It's become amusing reading all the absurd claims being made by the supporters of the new Inquisition, also known as global warming and/or climate change ( the backup argument used for when it actually gets colder instead) so I have decided to make a thread for all the ridiculousness that makes its way into the media and will add to it as they pop up.
Starting with today's latest claim. We're all going to get kidney stones.
Quote:
More Americans are likely to suffer from kidney stones in the coming years as a result of global warming, according to researchers at the University of Texas.
Kidney stones, which are formed from dissolved minerals in the urine and can be extremely painful, are often caused by caused by dehydration, either by not drinking enough liquid or losing too much due to high heat conditions.
If global warming trends continue as projected by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2007, the United States can expect as much as a 30 percent growth in kidney stone disease in some of its driest areas, said the findings published in Monday's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
