NOAA Report: World Labor Capacity Dropping Because of Increased Temperatures

Posted by Unknown on from the air-condition-the-planet dept.

pigrabbitbear writes with a story about some interesting possible effects of Global Warming. From the article: "It's a good thing that robots are stealing our jobs, because in about thirty-five years, nobody in their right mind is going to want to do them. Scientists from NOAA just published a report ... that details how a warming climate impacts the way we work, and the results are pretty clear — we do less of it. NOAA discovered that over the last 60 years, the hotter, wetter climate has decreased human labor capacity by 10%. And it projects that by 2050, that number will double."

    NOAA researchers discovered to be former DOJ Prosecutors. Why do we continue to pay for this. Let the sequester happen.

    In a report from the NOAA, it has been determined that Global Warming is the leading cause of Unionism.

    This "Unionism" (an effect of Global Warming) is the leading cause of a 10% drop in human productivity.

    Some people want Puerto Rico to become the 51st state, but this is also somewhat unlikely since it is an income tax haven for its wealthiest residents.

    So, maybe the other Americans who are being fucked in the ass by those "wealthiest residents" should try to make it the 51st state? Or you fancy it?
