Global warming aggravates kidney stones
Yep, that’s right. First polar bears, now kidney stones.
According to a new study (read The Times of India), global warming may lead to an increase in kidney stones disease. Dehydration has been linked to stone disease, mainly in warmer climates, and global warming will worsen this effect, according to the researchers. As a result, the prevalence of stone disease may increase, along with the costs on treating the condition.
The study is being presented at the 103rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the Americal Urological Association in Orlando, Florida.

My god! What a waste of money!
People actually get paid to research this crap?!
Brian M: I’m afraid so. A global warming link is a prerequisite these days if you want to get any money.
Just how hot do these people think its going to get? Is 0.7 or 0.8 degrees C increase enough to start turning people into raisins?
We already have kids thinking that Florida and New York are going to be under water at the same time the oceans are boiling dry. Now we have to worry about kidney stones?
In a lot of sad minds[sic] it takes the place of religion.
What colour should my “Save the Polar Bears/Fight Kidney Stones” ribbon be?
At least I have discovered that CO2 is NOT a poison!
Can Global Warming increase or decrease my chances of winning any Lottery? Answers on a postcard……
The sad thing is that a lot of people really believe their attempt to “Save the Planet” by minimizing their carbon footprint is going to actually contribute and don’t they feel righteous in so doing!!!!
Doh!
Well, apparently, the fat people who get these kidney stones are just reaping what they’ve sown. Has anyone told Al Gore? Maybe the size of one’s foot (or footprint) is not the most important factor.
