I'm a fan of Tim Harford's Logic of Life, and I'm a big promoter of the explanatory power of statistical discrimination (see here, here, and here for starters; also check out my lecture notes). So naturally I'm thrilled that Tim's new book devotes a full chapter to statistical discrimination - or as he prefers to call...

If there is anything that prevents me from fully joining the global warming “consensus,” it’s the fact that global warming has gone from being a scientific hypothesis to being untestable pseudoscience. There is, apparently, no evidence that the scientific “consensus” would possibly ever deem as falsifying the man-made-global-warming hypothesis. In fact, the best indication of that is the rhetorical trick the consensus has already pulled: switching from talking about “global warming” to talking about “climate change.” How could anyone ever falsify climate change?

I saw the same list and i wrote a post on it here http://www.newschoolpolitics.com/category/global-warming/.
This example, as well as many others, demonstrates a sort of tunnel vision among the global warming crowd which leads them to not only exaggerate their claims but also tie them to anything in sight.
Here are some of my favorite “things caused by global warming”:

Quoting from the article:
> Kruti Parekh, India’s first test tube baby and youngest magician presented a magic show to spread awareness about global warming.
Methinks this article may not represent the very best scholarship on the consequences of global warming.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, whatever became of gay marriage as the explanation? For everything bad that is. You hardly ever (read: absolutely never) see a headline that says, “Global warming suspected as cause for increased crop production in Canada.”

The authorities are way too slow to act on global warming. They need to institute an immediate plan to at the very least plant more trees. This will fix a lot of things.
