Climate Change Helps Killer Fungus!

Reuters has an interesting article about a fungus that is spreading in Canada and the US, which can be deadly for some people.

Potentially deadly fungus spreading in US, Canada

WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) - A potentially deadly strain of fungus is spreading among animals and people in the northwestern United States and the Canadian province of British Columbia, researchers reported on Thursday.
The airborne fungus, called Cryptococcus gattii, usually only infects transplant and AIDS patients and people with otherwise compromised immune systems, but the new strain is genetically different, the researchers said.
"This novel fungus is worrisome because it appears to be a threat to otherwise healthy people," said Edmond Byrnes of Duke University in North Carolina, who led the study.

This otherwise concerning article takes a humorous turn at the end though....

Freezing can kill the fungus and climate change may be helping it spread, the researchers said.

So how exactly did 'Climate Change' help this deadly fungus? Did it give it a ride across the border?? Did it loan it some money? Baloney.

The article says that this fungus has been spreading over the last few years, during a time which global temperatures have not shown any warming? And given this winter's cold weather, one could deduce that that fungus should have been eradicated.

I am sure this this fungus is deadly, and may even be a wider threat, but let drop the hyperbole about it being worse due to an undefined "climate change" co-conspirator....

Global Warming Keystone Cops

If I happened to be a believer in Anthropogenic Global Warming, and a proponent of what is being bandied about in Copenhagen, right now I would be screaming, "For the love of Pete you idiots! Why don't you plan these conferences for the summer?!?!?"

I mean, what could be worse when you are trying to convince a non-plussed American public that Global Warming is a problem that requires immediate action and immediate infusions of American tax dollars, and then to battle the following headlines:

GLOBAL WARMING 'AGREEMENT' OBAMA RACES HOME FOR BLIZZARD

DC snowstorm forces Pelosi to cut short her global warming trip

NYC Expecting Up to 10 Inches of Snow

Up to 20-inches in DC

Alaska sees record snow: Five feet, 8 inches deep!

What with all the self-appointed smartest people in the world meeting in Denmark, you would think at least some of them could have figured out that it might make better propaganda if they could show their delegates sweating in un-air conditioned meeting rooms while working out an agreement.

Instead heretics like me get to cackle when Global Warming protests get snowed out, winters get worse, or they are forced to break out the shovels in Copenhagen....

I mean, how hard could it be for someone to think "We should do this in Vegas in July!"

Debauchery AND triple-digit temperatures. What could be better for the UN technocrat trying to make a point to us knuckle dragging layabouts without the threat of snow drifts distracting from the message.

Too hard apparently....but it doesn't bother me....
