Lack Of Hurricanes Caused By CO2 | Real Science

“I’ve been going around tents today trying to weatherize them,” said Eric, 50, a carpenter who has been out of work since last year. “But we’ve been talking about maybe building a pavilion out of large tents with outdoor heaters in it so people can come in and get warm when they need to.”

Eric said he's slept at the site -- already muddy from frequent rain this fall -- all but two nights since Oct. 8. Then, he said, he was running a high fever after one of the rains. He doesn’t have health insurance and, though determined to stay occupied, is concerned about his health as the barometer drops.

“This cold weather has already gotten in my joints and made me half-way arthritic,” Eric said.
Instead of complaining about the cold-related ailments, shouldn't these people be rejoicing about being allegedly free of kidney stones and dengue fever?
