Global Climate Changes

Over 27,000 acres burned in eastern KY fires, dry conditions continue

136 fires have begun since the beginning of November, all caused by debris burning and arson.

From 2023
So when it’s dry it could burn?
Crazy thought

I hope that we can survive it.

We did alright, but if we got lucky, CBS News didn't survive it.

Cases are few, but are on the rise. There is a recent National Geographic article out, but you must be a subscriber. It discusses a rise in cases in Florida after the 2024 hurricanes. The uptick in rare, potentially fatal, diseases appears to be related to global warming events. Here is an older piece discussing Vibrio, a flesh-eating bacteria, that thrives in warm, brackish water:https://www.scientificamerican.com/...acteria-infections-are-on-the-rise-in-the-us/

Makes sense, because Florida only recently got warm.

Makes sense, because Florida only recently got warm.

Reports of infection are not limited to Florida:

"Vibrio vulnificus is found in warm coastal waters around the world. In the U.S., this includes southern Gulf Coast states. But rising ocean temperatures due to global warming are creating new habitats for this type of bacteria, which can now be found along the East Coast as far north as New York and Connecticut. A recent study noted that Vibrio vulnificus wound infections increased eightfold between 1988 and 2018 in the eastern U.S."

Anything else increased in this country the last 10 years besides the imaginary temperature.

If you want to see the real cause behind increases in certain infections, look no further than massive waves of illegal immigration. Of course that we're told is necessary due to climate change.

Climate change - the magic bullet.

If only we had lived before the Industrial Revolution when the climate never warmed.

Similarly, I cannot imagine that the lawyers and scientists in the tobacco industry were not well aware of the serious and harmful side effects of smoking before worldwide consensus emerged.

Exxon scientists predicted global warming with 'shocking skill and accuracy,' Harvard researchers say

In the study, scientists showed how the multinational energy giant worked to cloud the issue.
