Global Warming Could Make You Get Stung by a Wasp

Never mind that global warming stopped years ago, and that Russian scientists confirm that it never had anything to do with carbon dioxide anyway. The important thing is to panic. The latest horror unleashed by hoaxers in the media is wasps:

Insect stings have been on the rise in Alaska, and experts think that global warming could be to blame. A recent report shows steady increases statewide in patients seeking medical care for insect stings.

The report also noted that in 2006 two people in Fairbanks died due to anaphylactic shock after being stung by small hornet relatives known as yellow jackets — the first time such deaths have been reported in the city.

Finally — actual deaths linked to global warming. May the Goracle be praised for his foresight! Of course, like peanuts, wasps are life threatening only if you are allergic to them.

Although the National Geographic report admits that yellow jackets are not vectors for disease, it neglects to mention that they are beneficial insects because they are significant predators of pest insects that eat our crops and gardens. They also keep down the fly population. In large numbers, they might even be used on moonbats.
