    More brain eating amoebas due to climate change

    'Brain-Eating' Amoebas Heading North Due to Climate Change (msn.com)

    I did find it odd it said "fewer than 10 people/yr catch it at under chlorinated swimming pools", meaning every year 1 in 5 states will have someone get it going swimming, yay.

    so-called "brain-eating" amoeba that usually affects people in southern states is making its way north amid rising temperatures attributed to climate change.....Fewer than 10 cases, primarily linked to swimming, have been reported nationwide each year since 1962. ....

    FYI I dont get notifications anymore for some reason, if I dont respond it's because I didn't know, I have to use the "thanks" I'm still getting and scan a few pages to see if anyone responded but if it's 10-12 pages I dont.

    It's real to the people who have faith in it, and I've no doubt the Earth goes through cyclical changes due to it's orbit with the sun much more than fossil fuels.

    I am starting to be a plastic nazi though, it might be why the Orcas are pissed off, all the trash we throw in the ocean, probably lots of Orcas going to the doctor being told they have plastic gill and 3 months to live, and now someones gonna pay.

    He's in the waiting room, sees a turtle with a six pack ring around it's neck that's ahead of him and thinks "maybe I should just eat him, being as I'm hungry anyway, but that's that much more plastic in my gut....fucking humans...."

    Whenever I throw out 6 pack rings, I cut or pull apart all the rings. I'm doing my part.

    Yes, and it was probably larger than usual forcing extra expansion of the critical part which will no doubt lead to long term medical complications and possible surgeries straining the already overtaxed health care system.

    You betcha you took a dump today because of climate change, you surely overtaxed the sewage pipes in your neighborhood too, multiply that by a whole town full of people and you got early failure of the sewage system directly attributable to climate change, a backflow of human waste and a crisis that can be averted if we just get more serious about it.

    Shouldn't be a problem at all, being that they eat brains they'll starve to death in this country.
    It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them. Mark ​Twain

    I had to go to the store the other day. I got in my car & there was bird shit on the windshield. We have to spend more on climate change because as we are told, everything "bad" that happens is because of climate change.
