Global Scaremongering

Here we go again.

Today is World Health Day, and far from being a laudable attempt to deal with the chronic shortage of medical resources that is a daily fact of life in most countries, the World Health Organisation has decided that the emphasis of World Health Day this year should be on the terrifying effects of "climate change" on global health.

Have you ever wondered what happened to "global warming"? When did the threat switch from being the warming of the planet to the changing of the climate?

Well, the inconvenient truth, hidden from the general public by obfuscation and weasel talking by the great and the good (whose livings purely co-incidentally depend utterly on there being a problem to solve) is that for the last eight years there has been no warming.

Hence the need to change the emphasis away from actual warming to pseudo-warming or "change", as if there was 1) anything new in climate change, and 2) anything we could do about it.

So, now we have the lunacy of the WHO dedicating the significant resources of World Health Day to -

"catalyse public participation in the global campaign to protect health from the adverse effects of climate change"

This despite the fact that the very first bullet point of their press release says that World Health Day this year is supposed to be an opportunity for governments and concerned organisations to -

"establish links between climate change and health"

Excuse me?

Run that one by me again.

World Health day is being dedicated to raising awareness of and engaging the public in support of a problem that has not yet been proven to exist.

There are no "adverse effects" that we know of from which the WHO should feel obliged to protect us. Nor is it possible to raise public awareness of an issue that is yet to be researched, unless your aim is to generate the advance belief that there is a problem so that you can get funding. Scientists have mortgages to pay just like the rest of us.

That it took 80 "scientists" three days at an all expenses paid conference in sunny Spain to come up with this bullshit should surprise no-one.
