So I stumbled across this one this morning, basically they are claiming that increasing temperatures due to global warming cause an increase in the suicide rate.

It's pretty obvious that more guns and more NRA members would result in less colon cancer and deaths. Gun powder does the body good! (By propelling lead in the opposite direction).I guess by the same token, since gun ownership and NRA memberships are rising, they are causing increased rates of suicide. Dammit, NRA.
On the other hand, colon cancer rates and deaths have been decreasing:

Hmmm, not sure how to explain that.
I don’t know if temperatures are rising, but...When I was a kid, Christmas morning consisted of waking up early, busting ice on the cattle troughs, then opening gifts. Now, 30 years later, i wear short sleeves and shorts on christmas.
So you grew up in North Dakota and busted ice for the cattle on Christmas day.
Retired and living in Miami, no ice.
Hmmmmmm, yep that's global warming if I've ever seen it.
I wear a speedo on Christmas day. It keeps the neighbors from visiting.
Unfortunately, both occur(ed) in or around Victoria Texas... Then again, it snowed on Christmas Day in 2004. from Houston to Brownsville...
-My thought is, who gives a fuck? Yes, temps may be rising by fractions of a degree. The earth is 5,000,000,000+ years old. The temps have fluctuated WILDLY in those short few years. How long has man been here, a couple million? The earth is gonna be just fine. It will be around long after the human race is extinct.

for you Texas members . talking of ' Heat ' . I remember 30+ years ago being down in Dallas in early 80 or 1981 . And bought a T-shirt with the statement printed on it saying something to the affect of , ..." I Survived The Summer of 1980 ". .
Was well over 30+ days in a row over 100 Deg. F .. was a crazy killer brutal heat wave every day and so hard on Elderly especially that there were several deaths . It just about killed my ass also, as I was straight-in from Oregon climate .

84% of statistical studies are made up to suit the end result desired.
That wasn't the really hot year.
There was a year not too far back where we basically had 100 days of 100 degree+ weather in a row... that was fun
Came close to that another couple years as well.
Just got done with getting up to 110 here last week, but so far we've only got a bit over 2 weeks in the 100+ in a row then it cooled off into the practically cold high 90s.
