So I saw this headline, “The International Eczema Council investigate how climate change may impact eczema“. And I remembered I owed readers an investigation into all the bad things, and the good things, too, that will be caused by “climate change.”
Turns out everything bad will be caused by “climate change.” And nothing good. “Climate change” is scientifically unique in this way, being an entirely malevolent force.
Here’s the steps I took to discover all the bad things, and no good things, caused by “climate change.” I urge you to replicate my work. This will help convince you of the full horror of “climate change”. It will also make you at least a good a “climate change” scientist as anybody else. Because science means replication.
Step 1: Go to scholar.google.come.
Step 2: Enter this phrase (with quotation marks): X "climate change"
.
Step 3: Substitute X for anything you like. Anything at all.
Step 4: Find the scientific research article that scientifically proves, by the powers of scientific research, that “climate change” will cause X to burst into flames and to go straight to Hell. Or that X, a bad thing, will make “climate change” worse.
Now I, being one man (but what a man), cannot possibly think of everything, nor do I have time to, so I rely on you, dear readers, to spackle over the lacunae in my research.
Here’s my list. Which, as you saw, starts with eczema. Because of course “climate change” will make eczema worse. I didn’t put the links in the list below, because that would have been tedious in the extreme. But with the scholarly scientific research titles, you will have no trouble finding them yourself.
You also have to be a tad creative. For instance, I chose soup as one of my words. I immediately found the article “Climate change/variability and food systems: evidence from the Afram Plains, Ghana”, but it doesn’t have soup in the title. But the text indeed does have it: “…akple (cooked maize dough) and vegetable soup”, which the paper says will suffer when “climate change” hits.
Neither will you always find “climate change” in the title; but it is always in the paper in the examples I display. Do not neglect “global warming” for older research.
Also, if the thing itself in the list will not suffer under “climate change”, it will cause worse “climate change”.
Almost all words have multiple scientific research papers. I picked whichever one was amusing. I was lazy, too, rarely bothering to search past the first page. I took it as read that all meteorological and associated effects will be bad.

Sgt. Briggs, once again to the rescue! I'd been noticing for quite some time that my pencils were penciling differently, i.e. the pencil performance seemed diminished, and it's been a long time since my paper towels have toweled like they used to way back before the climate ever changed. Thought I was going a little wacky. What a relief a little research can offer!
"Turns out everything bad will be caused by “climate change.” And nothing good. “Climate change” is scientifically unique in this way, being an entirely malevolent force."
Isn't a corollary of this that if it got colder, the reverse will happen and we'll enter paradise? Jokes aside, genuinely asking - is this the position of the climate lunatics? Because if not, that means that somehow the way things are now is perfect and any deviation makes it worse - and, well..... how could that be the case? What a coincidence.
