Also, does an increase in the level of CO2 in the atmosphere prevent water droplets to form, thus more drought?

Then there is effects on thermohaline circulation on deep water masses in the North Atlantic that apparently (from a doco or article I read years ago) that will slow, and the North Atlantic will become much cooler, and start conditions to flip us into an ice age.

I really haven't the time to do more research into all that, but perhaps others have some perspectives to offer.

Pick a topic and add "climate change" to it in a Google search and you're likely to find some article or study suggesting a connection between the two.

This week, CNN ran another blame-climate-change-first story. This one claimed that the rate of animal bits "has increased over the past 10 years, according to Dr. Joseph Forrester, one of the authors of the study published Tuesday in the BMJ. He anticipates that it will continue to rise, partially because of climate change."

Time magazine blamed mental health problems on climate change. "Trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression all rank among the ailments linked to climate change," the story said

Another story argued that global warming was connected to sexual violence.

EcoWatch warned pet owners that climate change was probably the reason their dogs have fleas because "climate change is creating an ideal habitat for pests."

The Denver Post claimed that climate change was partly responsible for the decline in fertility rates.

Another article claimed a few years ago that "various skin disorders such as acne scars are the result of global warming and climate change."

One website had collected examples of just about everything that's been connected to global warming. There were hundreds of examples.[Each example is linked to the original lie--err, story.]

Global warming causes earthquakes?

Is There Anything Environmentalists Won't Blame On Climate Change?

When anything is offered as the explanation of everything, it's an explanation of nothing, like every other superstition and conspiracy theory.

As for you, I've just written a comment about you on another thread so be a good little moronic yank conspiracyturd and refer to that, and shove your vile, self-serving greed-link right up your arse.

Ooh, is this really happening, or is it a MOOOVIE?

I never said you were.

Reputed by who? Environmentalists (self-styled experts that blame everything on climate caused by human beings) of course.

Heh, heh! Don't look now, but your prejudices are showing. You are Soooo serious... Unfortunately it's all about that which does not matter.

Not for you, but anyone who might wonder, I do not subscribe to any conspiracy theory, for the simple reason that those who are accused of being part of one would never have the mental ability necessary to actually pull one off. Nobody has to conspire to deceive people into believing the nonsense most believe. Most people are totally ignorant and gullible and will believe anything any supposed authority, expert, self-identified "scientist," politician, religious leader, or academic philosopher teaches.

What, "political stance," would that be? There is no political solution to any supposed problem. It's people who believe governments can actually solve problems that are the cause of most so-called social problems. I am totally a-political.

I do not mind criticism of my views but those who consistently attribute views to me which I do not have and then criticize them just bewilders me.
