Eco-morons may just allow the real threat to kill us all----EPA's McCarthy Is Wrong: Climate Change Isn't Top Public Health Threat

EPA's McCarthy Is Wrong: Climate Change Isn't Top Public Health Threat - Investors.com
Hysteria: The Environmental Protection Agency chief says global warming is the most urgent threat to public health.
Given that the whole climate change frightfest has fallen apart, how do people keep saying such things?
EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy says she has dedicated her life to protecting the environment. It's too bad she is not more dedicated to reality.
If she were, her comments Monday before the left-wing Center for American Progress would have been different.
But McCarthy knew who she was speaking to and told the group what it wanted to hear when she said, "I really see no greater issue and no more urgent threat to public health than climate change."
In addition, the CDC's "Threat Report 2013" says that "many more people die from other conditions that were complicated by an antibiotic-resistant infection."
And how many Americans die each year due to man-made global warming? The answer is none, of course.
Obviously this government functionary has missed the news that the world might be entering a post-antibiotic era in which organisms resistant to the drugs that remarkably increased health and longevity in the 20th century will pose grave dangers.
Already, says the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 2 million people become infected each year in the U.S. "with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and at least 23,000 people die each year as a direct result of these infections."

...The radical environmentalists, who are aligned with most Democrats and the mainstream media, have no sense of proportion.
Climate change is an idea hatched and sustained by fevered minds.
It has killed no one, but somehow it is still the top public health issue, says McCarthy, and requires "global action."

While fixated on a fraud, the alarmists haven't been able to see the real public health threats around them, from the post-antibiotic era to terrorism to the re-emergence of diseases — measles, mumps, tuberculosis — we had almost eradicated to the possible widespread and uncontainable outbreaks of bird flu, SARS and the West Nile virus.
