Uh-oh. CNN reports that global warming is now killing 300,000 people per year. Apparently, as a people, we failed to be roused by the plight of the polar bear. So now we're talking about people. Interesting ...

I love it... they even call it a "silent crisis".
...the deaths are caused by climate-related malnutrition, diarrhea and malaria...
Here's an idea:
1) birth control
2) better nutrition
3) cleaner water
4) DEET
"man-made global warming" need not apply.
The vast majority of deaths--99 percent--are in developing countries which are estimated to have contributed less than one percent of the world's total carbon emissions.Translation: You're killing the innocent Africans!!! (... Feel guilty yet?)
Matt -
I saw that line and laughed out loud. Glad to see I wasn't the only one laughing at the ridiculous bias.
Greg,
Does your suggestion regarding "birth control" bring us back to the subject of "intelligent sin?" It *has* been a few years since we've circles around to it.
Matt--your comment is typical liberal playbook, so I skipped right past it.
And Scott--no, intelligent sin didn't cross my mind. Personal accountability did :)
Actually--I spoke w/ a guy who's premise was that modern medicine is the cause of the malnutrition issue, because of the significantly increased infant survival rate. Interesting premise. Increase population with the same resources = delayed natural selection. (No, didn't mean that to come out like Scrooge.)
