Climate change seems to be making 0bama more bothersome, too.
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
THAT’S SO FUNNY…OBAMA TALKING ABOUT MOOSE WITH TICKS??? MARRIAGE BAD??? COULD THEY BE CRABS??? VD ISSUES???
I’M SORRY LORD, PLS FORGIVE, AMEN.
When obama starts quoting “facts”, he’s lying.
Just like all the rest of the time.
So, how many ticks have jumped off Moose onto Squirrel?
My condolences to Moose. Has she tried a Hartz collar?
Shut up and check yer tire pressure……….10 years later and gas prices finally dropped.
“Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Helmets”, sounds like a great book!
And now Canada has one more rat.
He should frame that and hang it in the Barack Obama Presidential Liebarry.
Until they start to affect the national mammal of Scotland I’m not going to worry.
How the fuck would he know? Last time he was in Alaska he war rubber gloves to gill a Salmon.
.well, as long as Obama’s there, the moose DO have ONE more parasite to put up with…
And…..Obutthole is the biggest TICK of them all.
Why.. I say, why that moose has more ticks than Hillary in bright, flashing lights!
They misquoted him.
He actually said “dick-borne” diseases. He’s obsessing about his own personal affliction so much he can’t stop talking about it.
“I really like moose.”
I laughed out loud when I read that. Did he look over at mitch when he said it?
Why is he in Canada?….is he fighting extradition?….Where’s Michelle, Malaria and Malaria?….We have March Madness headed our way….Where’s his picks?….is he smokin’ ribs for the march madness picking party?….Will Oprah show her hoo hoo to him?…
BO will forever be known as the Lord of the Flies:

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.
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?”
Anonymous….they invited shithead up there to take the cameras off Castro Jr
Did he really say the Mooch has ticks.
Tell him to run the old First Moose through a car wash from time to time. THAT should fix her right up! 😀
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.
The goddamn government is one BIG tick, sucking the blood out of every American. Now the Congress is filling with Moslems.
Where’s that overdue Meteor?
Well, he does know parasites because he is one.
Might want to hit Big Mike between the legs with a dusting of Miller’s Pet, Poultry and Livestock Dust.
He has a lot of experience picking fleas off moooochelle.
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.
