While visiting Canada, Obama warns Moose have extra ticks because of climate change

Climate change seems to be making 0bama more bothersome, too.

Breitbart: 

Delingpole: Climate Change Is Real Because Moose Ticks, Obama Warns Canada.

President Obama has been in Calgary, Canada, warning his audience of the perils of man-made climate change.

Apparently, it is even affecting their national mammal.

The Hill reports:

 

“All of us are going to have to recognize that there are trade-offs involved with how we live, how our economy is structured, and the world that we’re going to be passing on to our kids and grandkids. Nobody is exempt from that conversation,” Obama said.

He also noted that rising oceans risk coastal populations and environmental changes have boosted the frequency of insect-borne diseases.

“Moose right now [have] to deal with tick-borne diseases that they didn’t have to do 10, 15 years ago. I really like moose. I assume, Canadians, you do too,” Obama said. “These are just facts.”

Just facts. Really?

Anyone who believes the nonsense that the frequency of insect-borne diseases has increased as a result of climate change really needs to read this damning assessment by Prof Paul Reiter.

It dates back to 2005 but little has changed since. Reiter is an expert on vector-borne diseases – especially malaria – and former contributing author of the 1996 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for the chapter on the impact of global warming on human health.

Reiter’s basic point is very simple: historically insect diseases have thrived in many places where it is not warm, including England which used to be rife with malaria. So it makes no sense to attribute them to global warming.

Reiter was appalled to find that none of his fellow IPCC ‘contributing authors’ had any expertise in the field. As Christopher Booker describes in his book The Real Global Warming Disaster, one was an expert on the effectiveness of motor cycle helmets; two were full time environmental activists who had written articles on subjects from mercury poisoning to land mines.

But it soon became clear to Reiter that regardless of the facts on vector-borne diseases, the IPCC was determined to finger climate change in a way that was ‘ill-informed, biased, and scientifically unacceptable.’  MORE

  3. Here’s something many people don’t think about, let alone the all knowledgeable leftists.

    One of the biggest threats we have, is the eradication of insects. We rely on insects, even ticks.

  4. Oh… Canada. (smh)

    When the world’s Nobel prize winning citizen has brought China and India up to (deplorable) American standards, I’ll care.

    When India and China have declared the world’s Nobel prize winning citizen persona non grata, because he’s too effective a public nuisance, I’ll give Canada a pass for offering him sanctuary.

    Until then… “Hey, Canada! What’s Justin up too?”

  5. Why is Barry so concerned about ticks – in Canada no less. He and the First Sasquatch not living together? He should just give her vet a call and ask if she’s gotten her annual flea and tick dip.

  6. Just read an article claiming opossums will eat up to 4,000 ticks a day. Hell, if I’d known that 10 years ago a couple opossums would have been dropped off at the White House.
