Articles: Prediction: Global Warming Will Cause Everything

 So why mention global warming in this context at all?  Because the first rule of all modern discourse related to weather, disease, happiness, poverty, famine, wildlife, or almost anything else is that tribute must be paid to the god Climate Change Theory.  One cannot discuss the spread of disease without mentioning climate change.  So the article mentions it.  No further reason is required.  It is simply a matter of faith, of public policy, and of good breeding to acknowledge climate change as a preface to any observation about anything. 

(If you think this seems overstated, I recommend this 2007 American Thinker blog post, listing over six hundred nasty effects that have been attributed to global warming.  One suspects that if you mentioned that number to one of our sustainability experts these days, he'd earnestly tell you that the list is far too conservative.)

One senses that journalists, scientists, and laymen are afraid to talk about any subject that might be explained by climate change without mentioning climate change, lest they be seen as climate infidels -- i.e., as people who do not accept the centrality of climate change to all modern events. 

Turning [Questionable] Climate Change Data into [Stupid] Policy Is No Easy Feat

Historically Lake Tahoe mixes all the way from top to bottom about once every three or four years. The mixing helps move oxygen throughout the lake's water.

"What the model suggests is that in the coming decades, it's going mix to that depth less often," Schladow said.  "And possibly in the second half of the century, that mixing may ease altogether."
