Predicting Stupidity

Global warming is now a disease vector:

A cyclone wrecks coastal Myanmar, spawning outbreaks of malaria, cholera and dengue fever. Flooding inundates Iowa, raising an array of public health concerns.

As these disasters draw attention to weather hazards, which many fear could be exacerbated by climate change, scientists are working to be able to better predict health dangers as they forecast the weather.

The key is bringing all types of data together: health, weather, human behavior, disasters and others. "It's science without borders," Lautenbacher said.

More like "science without a fucking clue."

Give it up, global warming boys. It's over. Go home.
