Is there anything left NOT caused by Global Warming?

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2007/11/everyt...

This link is to a web page which lists the "media stories ascribing the cause of everything under the sun to GLOBAL WARMING."

So my question is this - is there anything they missed?

A few favorites -

Atlantic LESS Salty / Atlantic MORE Salty

Business Opportunities / Business Risks

Oh here's a good one - Circumcision in Decline (???)

And the ever popular "Earth to Explode"

So, has anyone got a list of things NOT caused by "Global Warming?"

Update:

Enraged Parrot:

Did you not notice the "media reports" portion of my statement? Nowhere did I mention "peer reviewed" papers, although in another 10 years, I'll be able to point to all sorts of "peer reviewed" papers on what enhanced CO2 levels do to the climate, and they'll all be just as funny as this list!

    All proving that global warming is a reactionary science.

    No one can tell you what global warming will do in 5 minutes, but everything that has ever happened can be explained by the theory of "global warming".

    It makes no difference if it's warmer or colder, ice melts or gets thicker - global warming can explain it all.

    2. Time Dilation and Length Contraction

    3. Avagadro's Number

    4. The Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution

    5. The Photoelectric Effect

    6. The Franck-Hertz Experiment

    7. Electron Wave Packets

    8. The Uncertainty Principle

    9. The Schrodinger Equation in 3D+THX Surround Sound

    10. The Zeeman Effect

    Let's dissect Bob's typical answer and see how it proves the point of the question.

    Bob said: "For example, most all scientists agree that global warming will substantially alter where precipitation falls. So some areas that get about enough rain now will see floods, while others see droughts."

    You notice, he didn't say that more water might fall on dry places and less water on wet places. The obvious bias of their position is that they can only aknowledge the negative. As I have stated before, having one of these alarmists admit that global warming might have some benefits is like asking a fundamentalist Christian to say some good things about the devil.

    Most of the links given in the list are to Blogs, those that aren't are to Internet news sites. There is not a single peer reviewed article linked or mentioned anywhere. Thus, I am compelled to laugh at anyone who takes your list seriously.

    Well, we know that global warming causes both the heating and cooling of the earth, so no, there's nothing left not caused by Global Warming.

    Plenty of things are not caused by global warming. And there are many foolish stories in the media.

    But that shouldn't cloud the fact that global warming has many effects, some of which are not obvious. And they will affect different areas differently.

    For example, most all scientists agree that global warming will substantially alter where precipitation falls. So some areas that get about enough rain now will see floods, while others see droughts.

    Not crazy, just simple science.

    JIM Z - It's equally simple math. 9 possibilities (places with too much rain, enough, not enough; gets more, less, or the same rain). 2 times you win, 3 times you break even, 4 times it's a loss. A few places win, more lose.

    And the biggy is that places in temperate latitudes will see less rain. That's where most farms are located. Big trouble in store for Africa.

    one not caused by global warming is corruption of government officials... hehehe... but i think whatever we do, a problem can somehow be connected to global warming. its just hard to explain

    Bush winning the White House not only once, but twice. That was caused by the little understood, but wide spread phenomena, stupidity.

    Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is still not caused by global warming. Yet.
