Is hand washing the cause of climate change? | Douglass Report - Official Site

Is hand washing the cause of climate change? | Douglass Report - Official Site
Warm water study is full of hot air
They’ve tried to guilt you into driving a dinky electric car… guilt you into being cold in winter (and hot in summer)… and guilt you into eating soy instead of steak.
And now, the climate kooks are trying to guilt you into using cold water to wash your hands. Apparently, every time you use warm water, a little piece of the Earth dies.
They claim warm water for hand washing causes American homes to belch out 6 million metric tons of CO2 per year — or the equivalent of two coal-fired power plants.
The fact that we’d need just two power plants to bring warm water to a nation of more than 300 million souls sounds pretty darned efficient to me — and even that may be a wild exaggeration, because the study wasn’t conducted by experts in medicine, public health, energy or even the environment.
Nope.
The main researchers include a lawyer and two people with a background in psychology.
That explains the guilt angle, anyway.
But that’s all they have — guilt. They don’t have science because the science shows the planet is not only NOT getting warmer, but may in fact be getting cooler.
So much for global warming!

Religon is good for health

[VIDEO] How doctors protect their own prostates - siegholle@gmail.com - Gmail

Being religious can protect the brain 

Want to beat depression? Go to church! 

The more religious you are, the thicker your cortex, according to a new study of more than 100 adults. 

And in this case, it's good to be a little thick in the head (or at least this part of the head), because the cortex is like a suit of armor for your mood. The thicker it is, the less likely you are to suffer depression. 

But if you're not particularly religious, your cortex could be paper-thin -- putting you at a higher risk of depression and everything that comes along with it. 

No wonder atheists are such downers! 

But don't worry... whether you're an out-and-out unbeliever or just a lost sheep looking for a way back, it's never too late to see the light. 

You'll get something a lot more important than a mood boost -- you'll get benefits that last longer than a lifetime. 

Bringing you the Truth, 

William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.

Pope Francis is wrong about capitalism - Appeared in the Calgary Herald and Waterloo Region Record | Fraser Institute

Pope Francis is wrong about capitalism - Appeared in the Calgary Herald and Waterloo Region Record | Fraser Institute

Pope Francis’s capitalism critique is too general but there is indeed a problem with crony capitalism. That, and his deeply concern for the world’s poor, justifiably requires a withering but more focused critique
