There Can Only Be One Or Two Reasons That Malia Was Afflicted...

With asthma...

CNSNews.com) – “Climate change could expose more people to triggers that cause asthma,” Surgeon General Vivek Murthy video-tweeted Thursday while answering questions from Americans @Surgeon_General.
“Climate change, as it turns out, has a number of impacts on health,” Murthy tweeted when asked about “the less obvious or more subtle impacts on our health due to climate change.”

”Human health is affected, for example, through extreme weather events, through wildfire and decreased air quality, and through diseases transmitted by insects, food and water.
Many times people think about the direct health impact that extreme weather and issues like asthma and heat stress, but there are also other impacts that warmer temperatures can have on human health.
For example, warmer temperatures can increase the likelihood that insect-borne diseases, like dengue and chikungunya, might make their way further north into the continental United States as temperatures become warmer and the climate becomes more favorable for tropical organisms to survive.”

But the nation’s top public health official stopped short of President Obama’s assertion earlier this week that blamed climate change for his daughter Malia’s asthma.

And he did not cite climate change or asthma among his top two priorities as surgeon general even though the White House is planning a May 12 summit on the health impact of climate change.

It's funny, in a disingenuous way, that all these problems being cause by climate change only happen when the climate "warms"

Maybe her asthma is a birth defect caused by inferior genes passed down  from her dad because of his love for the choom in his younger years.

It's funny you should say.
Your prediction is surfacing as the most probable cause...

A Wednesday "Good Morning America" piece gave President Barack Obama an open mic to claim that, in ABC's words, "climate change became a personal issue for him when his older daughter Malia, now 16, was rushed to the emergency room with an asthma attack when she was just a toddler."

Somehow, ABC managed to avoid another possible contributor — besides the obvious possibility that Malia developed asthma independent of external influences — namely the President's 30-year smoking habit. He is said to have quit once and for all in 2011. USA Today columnist James S. Robbins wasn't impressed with the President's "reasoning," and with good cause, as he articulated in a Thursday evening column. He even managed to get a "there's been no warming for a long time" observation past USA Today's editors (links are in original; bolds are mine):

Global warming didn't give Malia asthma

President's smoking more likely to cause daughter's health problem than climate change.

President Obama blames global warming for his daughter's asthma. Today that's politically useful spin, but the science says something different. If you're looking for a culprit, it just might be Malia's dad.

... The president connected his daughter's malady to global climate change. In a discussion Tuesday, he said "all of our families are going to be vulnerable" to global warming-induced health risks because "you can't cordon yourself off from air or from climate."

A White House fact sheet connected the dots, saying that asthma rates have more than doubled in the past 30 years, and that "climate change is putting these individuals and many other vulnerable populations at greater risk of landing in the hospital" like Malia.

Any time Barry's lips are moving, he's lying.

That's the only truth in the whole "climate change" hoax.

It appears that the Great Glow Bull Warming Swindle has already negatively impacted many...

It’s a myth there are no big winners from climate change besides fossil fuel companies.
According to one study, global warming is doubling bark beetle mating, triggering up to 60 times as many beetles attacking trees every year.
The decline in creatures with shells thanks to ocean acidification “could trigger an explosion in jellyfish populations.”
And climate change has helped dengue fever, which spread to 28 U.S. states back in 2009.


Of course, invasive plants will become “even more dominant in the landscape.”
And who doesn’t love ratsnakes?
Let’s also not forget brain-eating parasites, which are expected to thrive as U.S. lakes heat up.
That parasite — the amoeba, Naegleria fowleri — feasts on human brains like a tiny zombie.

As one Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expert warned several years ago:
“This is a heat-loving amoeba.
As water temperatures go up, it does better.
In future decades, as temperatures rise, we’d expect to see more cases.”


But this is just a taste of things to come, as two parasite experts explain in a recent article, “Evolution in action: climate change, biodiversity dynamics and emerging infectious disease [EID].”
 That article is part of a special April issue of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B., whose theme is “Climate change and vector-borne diseases of humans.”


“The appearance of infectious diseases in new places and new hosts, such as West Nile virus and Ebola, is a predictable result of climate change,” as the news release explains.
The article examines our “current EID crisis.”
Coauthor Daniel R. Brooks explains:
“It’s not that there’s going to be one ‘Andromeda Strain’ that will wipe everybody out on the planet,” he said, referring to the deadly fictional pathogen.

But he warns:
“There are going to be a lot of localized outbreaks that put a lot of pressure on our medical and veterinary health systems.
There won’t be enough money to keep up with all of it.
It will be the death of a thousand cuts.”


Many tropical diseases are tropical because their insect or animal host prefer warmer climates.
A 2015 report on neglected tropical diseases by the World Health Organization (WHO) pointed out that “climate variability and long-term climate changes in temperature, rainfall and relative humidity are expected to increase the distribution and incidence of at least a subset of these diseases.”
For instance, WHO notes, “dengue has already re-emerged in countries in which it had been absent for the greater part of the last century.”


The Congressionally-mandated 2014 National Climate Assessment concurs:
“Large-scale changes in the environment due to climate change and extreme weather events are increasing the risk of the emergence or reemergence of health threats that are currently uncommon in the United States, such as dengue fever.”


“Some of the neglected tropical diseases are no longer strictly tropical,” said Dr. Dirk Engels, the director WHO’s Department of Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases, in a statement.
Certainly there have been major advances in the fight against many tropical diseases, but those are primarily due to medical advances and investments in public health.
Such investments remain a top priority in a warming world. But the kind of extreme climate change humanity faces on our current path of unrestricted carbon pollution makes the job harder for all those focused on public health around the world.

Due to climate change people have fewer ingrown toe nails.

Hey, people can go bare footed.

Due to climate change people have fewer ingrown toe nails.

Hey, people can go bare footed.

That reminds me of a tube worm parasite (not from Paris) that enters the human body through the sole of a barefoot person.
I'm sure glow bull warming is causing more of that too.
