Latest Climate Change Absurdity: CO2 Makes People Dumber
RUSH: Here the details on the latest climate change story: "First, United Nations officials label bacon" and sausage and pork "and deli meats as carcinogens, and now scientists are claiming that higher concentrations of carbon dioxide are not only heating the planet, they're making people dumber. A new study by the Harvard School of Public Health claims 'carbon dioxide (CO2) has a direct and negative impact on human cognition and decision-making,' according to Think Progress, a left-wing advocacy website.
"Former Vice President Al Gore wasted no time tweeting out Think Progress' in-depth article, trying to link higher carbon dioxide levels to lower cognition in humans. The Harvard study exposed 24 people to office environments with varying levels of volatile organic compounds as well as varying levels of carbon dioxide over six work days. The study found that for 'seven of the nine cognitive function domains, average cognitive scores decreased at each higher level of CO2.' 'Cognitive function scores were 15% lower for the moderate CO2 day," and there's a bunch of numbers and stats here.
Have you ever heard anything more preposterous?
You know who comes up with theories like this? The people who have gone overboard eliminating CO2 from their lives. They double and triple insulate their homes. They drive around in electric cars. They do all kinds of crazy stuff to eliminate the presence of CO2. The only CO2 that they want to expose themselves to is what they exhale. And they're the stupid ones.
