Global Warming Causes Everything: Britney Spears surprisingly absent

From boredom to brothels to catepillar biomass shift, the media has blamed everything on global warming. Christopher Alleva at the American Thinker blogs about Dr. John Brignell, a British engineering professor, who runs a website called numberwatch. As Dr. Brignell works daily to "combat math hysteria" he has been accumulating an amazing list of things that the media have ascribed to global warming – and they’re not all bad. Better beer and more calamari seem like a winning combo.

The list is astounding – here’s just a taste :

avalanches increased, bananas destroyed, bananas grow, beetle infestation, bet for $10,000, better beer, big melt faster, billion dollar research projects, billions of deaths, bird distributions change, bird visitors drop, birds return early, blackbirds stop singing, blizzards, blue mussels return …spiders invade Scotland, squid population explosion, squirrels reproduce earlier, spectacular orchids, stormwater drains stressed, street crime to increase, suicide, taxes, tectonic plate movement, teenage drinking…

The entire list is definitely worth a read. With over 600 and growing, Dr. Brignell welcomes your contributions.
