    Of course HIV is related to climate change. People with HIV are prone to coming down with fevers as their bodies try to fight the HIV virus. This extra body heat is a major contributor to man made global warming! Just ask futurecurrents. :D

    The argument is flawed in reason + logic also.
    Algore should be sued for fraud,, the founder of the weather channel said.

    Also ,the reason they changed the named of the swindle from ''global warming'' to climate change, is same reason crooks use an alias .

    murray t turtle;
    nickname ,,not an alias.LOL:D

  3. The killing in Chicago continues hot or cold. The numbers are already up from last year. Too bad for this kid caught in the crossfire. She performed at the Obama inaguration.

    Hadiya Pendleton, all of 15 years old, was gunned down at a park in Chicago

    As Congress holds a much-anticipated hearing on gun control, there was a disturbing reminder that gun violence in America never takes a break. It's been reported that Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old girl from Chicago, was gunned down on Tuesday, just days after she performed with her school band at President Obama's inauguration. Pendleton — an honors student, volleyball player, and majorette at King College Prep — was shot at a park just blocks away from her school.

    According to reports, Pendleton was among 12 teenagers who had taken shelter from the rain under a canopy in Vivian Gordon Harsh Park. An unidentified gunman then jumped the park's fence and allegedly opened fire. In addition to Pendleton, who later died from her wounds, a teenage boy was shot and is currently in serious condition at the hospital.

    That does not change the positive correlation between heat and violence.

    I'm not advocating a "the heat made me do it" excuse. For practical reasons society can't allow it, just as it typically won't allow an insanity defense for a premeditated mass shooting, though it's obvious that one must be insane in a real sense to do such a thing.

    In order to arrive at that conclusion you would need to find some way to remove the fact that people are more active and interact more during warmer weather.

    So, to continue your claim, we need to see a link with how any study you reference was conducted.

    Otherwise YOU ARE JUST FULL OF BULLSHIT.

  8. Let's all chip in and afford Ricter the opportunity to "study" this phenomenon between climate change and violence in Chicago. We can set him up in a bungalow on the west side of Chicago and he can interact with the locals and test his theory out in the community.

  9. There is no doubt the violence increases during the summer months. More people out and about. Domestic violence probably ticks up a bit as the A/C quits working, but the bangers, they're out in all kinds of weather.

    Shall we arm him with a pea shooter so he can protect himself?
