SERIOUSLY?
They just don’t want people to stop worrying about shit…
And that is gonna backfire after a while….
Already has in some places….
About 8.4 billion people — or almost 90 percent of the projected global population — could be exposed to malaria or dengue fever by 2080 if greenhouse gas emissions continue to surge, according to a new study published in The Lancet Planetary Health.
North America is included in that risk area, according to the study, which predicted a potential “northward shift” of both the malaria and dengue-epidemic belts.
Other new malaria-prone regions in that scenario could include northern Asia and central-northern Europe — the latter of which could also be at risk for dengue, the study said.
Socioeconomic factors like housing quality, plumbing and air conditioning have “meant that dengue poses less of a burden in the U.S. than in other regions with comparable climates,” Erin Mordecai, an assistant professor at Stanford, told The Hill’s Equilibrium.
However, she stressed that “there’s always the possibility for dengue transmission with the vectors present and increasingly warm, suitable climates.”
If emissions continue to rise at today’s rates, resultant temperature increases could extend transmission seasons by more than a month for malaria and four months for dengue in the next 50 years, researchers at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) determined in the Lancet study.
Yet they also showed how curbing emissions could reduce transmission seasons and “prevent millions of people from contracting malaria and dengue,” Felipe J. Colón-González, assistant professor at LSHTM, said in a news release….
Get with it Alfred E Newman !!Remember Mad magazine ?
“What?Me Worry!”
And while on the subject of Covid?
The Republicans at that CPAC Hatefest lustily cheered some Right Wing kook named Alex Berenson as he boasted about the large number of people still not vaccinated.
Meanwhile over at the Republican News Network…Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingram are pushing the line that the government trying to get people vaccinated was an intrusion on their civil liberties.
Of course we have been told that this vaccination stuff isn’t political .So I guess we should just ignore it.
Not sure why James feels that telling people about the likely impact of global warming will backfire?
Huh?
What’s the huh” for?
You said the following:”And that is gonna backfire after a while.”
