Yet Again...Everything Is Related to Global Warming

I've raised the issue before that no matter what occurs -- hot weather, cold weather, rainy weather, drought...even normal weather -- that some "expert" somewhere will find a way to link every event or situation to global warming.

So, I'm reading the Los Angeles Times today, always an adventure, and there's an article by Anna Gorman titled, "Warming could fuel immigration."  This article quotes a number of scientists (specifically the study's author, Michael Oppenheimer, professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton University), each of whom makes loosely-worded concerns about global warming and its likely impact on immigration policy. 

It claims, "Between 1.4 and 6.7 million Mexicans could migrate to the U.S. by 2080 as climate change reduces agricultural production in Mexico."  Why just immigrants from Mexico?  What about other countries?  And why would they all want to immigrate to the U.S.?

Mind you, there are virtually NO specifics about the alleged "study," and there are no specific links, but yet it gets a fairly significant amount of "ink" in the Los Angeles Times.  Oppenheimer says, "Our primary objectives were, No. 1, to give policy-makers something to think about and, No. 2, to give researchers a spur to start answering some of the more complicated questions."  I'm sure that the U.N. will jump all over this one.

I've said it before and it's more true now than ever -- Global warming is the new socialism.  Its most hard-core supporters want to control what you do or say, where you go, what you watch, what you eat...EVERYTHING...and unless you're "enlightened" and adopt their radical, tax and regulate policies lock, stock and barrel, you open up yourself to criticism and ridicule.
