Combatting Math Hysteria
A British Website, NumberWatch, dedicated to "Combatting Math Hysteria," compiles information about "scares, scams, junk, panics, and flummery cooked up by the media, politicians, bureaucrats, so-called scientists and others who try to confuse you with wrong numbers."
NumberWatch compiled the following "partial list of things ostensibly caused by global warming":
Aggressive polar bears, algal blooms, Asthma, avalanches, autumn leaf colour change, billions of deaths, blizzards, building season extension, bushfires, cannibalistic polar bears, Cholera, civil unrest, cloud increase, CO2 emissions from plants, coral bleaching, cold spells, damages equivalent to $200 billion, declining fish stocks, Dengue hemorrhagic fever, desert advance, desert retreat, destruction of the environment, disappearance of coastal cities, Dolomites collapse, drought, drowning polar bears, dust bowl in the corn belt, early spring, earlier pollen season, earthquakes, Earth slowing down, Earth spinning out of control, El Ni�o intensification, erosion, Everest shrinking, expansion of university climate groups, extinctions (ladybirds, pandas, whales, frogs, turtles, orang-utan, jellyfish, elephants, tigers, plants, salmon, trout, woodlice, a million species) extreme changes to California, famine, farming bankruptcies (US), floods, forest die back, forest expansion, frosts, glacial retreat, glowing clouds, Gore omnipresence, Gulf Stream failure, Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, harvest increase, harvest shrinkage, hay fever epidemic, heat waves, human health improvement, hurricanes, hyperthermia deaths, ice sheet growth, ice sheet reduction, inclement weather, Inuit displacement, insurance premium rises, islands sinking, itchier poison ivy, krill decline, landslides, Malaria, malnutrition, marine diseases, Maple syrup shortage, Melanoma, methane burps, melting permafrost, migration, microbes to decompose soil carbon more rapidly, mudslides, next ice age, ocean acidification, ozone rise, plankton blooms, plankton extinctions, rainfall increase, rainfall reduction, refugees, release of ancient frozen viruses, rift on Capitol Hill, salinity reduction, Salmonella, sea level rise, smog, snowfall increase, squid population explosion, tree foliage increase (UK), tropics expansion, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, wars over water, West Nile fever, wind shift, Yellow fever.
And all on 0.006 deg C per year!

Interesting very interesting! the triple fake Artie Johnson
The best comment I heard about global warming: In good times we worry that the polar bears won't have enough arctic ice to sustain their habitat. In bad times we wonder what polar bear meat tastes like.
