Warning to Readers: This article may upset some readers. It is likely that some will be offended. It could possibly cause you to become outraged. There is more risk of being offended if you disagree with it's content, however some people may find it informative. And that my friends is 'a fact!' The Issue of Global Warming has become a very hot topic in recent years, mainly because, for some reason, certain types of people simply will not accept scientific facts. In their efforts to cause us to turn our backs on scientific research, some people make outlandish claims. Take for instance two writers here at Magic City. In Tom DeWeese's The Myth of Global Warming and Thomas Brewton's Inquisition or Scientific Investigation absolutely ridiculous claims are made by the writers, to convince us that what is scientifically so, 'is not'!
The other says:
Why can't such people get it through their heads that real science is about finding out the facts, and no scientist worth his salt, would conjure up disaster scenarios, just for the sake of scaring us out of our wits, or worse, simply so that they can get more and more grant money to keep themselves employed. Science, my friends is our friend. It simply seeks out the truth. Scientific Researchers are constantly discovering new and marvellous things about our universe, and about our own selves. The beauty of science, is that it can push away the cobwebs of ignorance and misinformation from which so much of us suffer. For example: We all know that coffee is not good for us yes? But science you see is not in the business of pandering to our ignorance. When it comes to the subject of coffee, it will surely come as a relief to many women to know that according to the most recent scientific research, drinking coffee is unlikely to cause cancer. That comes straight from the Researcher's mouth. Neither will using deodorants or having breast implants cause cancer. Whilst the latter wouldn't personally bother me if it did cause cancer, I for one am very grateful to know that Coffee and deodorants are safe for me (a man) to use, and I'm sure my dancing partners at the Latin Dance Studio are equally grateful for the latter. Coffee, breast implant cancer fears 'unfounded' Mon Feb 4 2008
Despite our general belief that coffee is bad for us however, recent studies suggest that Coffee may stop MS developing (April 08, 2008)
So we are doubly blessed when it comes to the issue of coffee. It may help arrest the development of MS, and it doesn't give our ladies cancer. Unfortunately, we do have to be careful of how tall they grow and how fat they get. Height increases melanoma risk (March 06, 2008)
I was not trying to be unkind in mentioning the word 'fat' because another study suggests that womens Diet is tied to breast and ovarian cancer risks (Feb 22 2008). Becoming fat you see, makes the health risk even worse. Obesity 'makes breast cancer worse' (March 15, 2008)
In the fight against the flab, we should be careful not to eat too many potatoes because Potatoes and white bread are linked to cancer (Mar 10 2008)
A common food that apparently helps fight cancer is the Common mushroom, shown to help beat disease (December 13, 2008)
Fortunately, there is also a common household medicine that can assist the mushrooms in the fight against Breast Cancer, because Aspirin 'cuts breast cancer risk' (March 07, 2008)
When it comes to taking medicine however, we must be careful what we ingest for as one study shows: Medicines are doing mental damage to thousands (Mar 7 2008)
You guys out there with depressed wives should immediately get your lovely ladies off those nasty drugs (or live elsewhere). Not only will you be sparing them mental damage, but you will be doing yourself a big favour, because it turns out that Depressed Women have more sex (March 20, 2008)
Now before all you smart alecs go running into the streets looking for depressed women to comfort, kindly note that there are dangers involved in having sex; particularly if you are uncircumcised. The rest of us need not worry because recent studies suggest that Circumcision cuts sexual diseases (amongst other things.) March 26, 2009
Of course there is another danger in having promiscuous or unprotected sex and that is pregnancy. While it is something that many women want to avoid, according to some studies, Pregnancy makes women quicker, smarter (March 19, 2008)
Mmm? Women get smarter after pregnancy? Maybe they misunderstood what the women were really saying: 'Gee I was stupid to get pregnant, but I'm smarter now!' Turning back now to the issue of food, we are put on notice that eating Meat raises lung cancer risk (Dec 11 2007)
And of course, should that red meat actually be BBQ'd, you are on a fast track to hell brother because BBQ meat linked to cancer and heart attacks (March 24, 2009)
So remember guys, stay away from red meat and particularly the BBQ variety. To be and remain healthy, you should exercise regularly, and get plenty of sleep. That last point is important, because if you don't get enough sleep, you will get fat. Sleep determines men's weight (March 13, 2008)
Now I know that many women out there are saying: 'If only he would sleep five hours, maybe he would have time to do more around the house'. But come on now, what is more important? The housework or his health? You don't want him coming down with diabetes now do you? But should your man be diagnosed with that disease, there is something that you can encourage him to do that will help, cause you see Tai Chi helps in managing diabetes (April 09, 2008)
Now on the issue of sleep and exercise, if your man does take up the rigors of Tai Chi, just watch out that it does not exhaust him so much, that he starts falling asleep in the middle of the afternoon, because apparently Daytime dozing may be warning sign of stroke (Feb 22 2008)
Now I know the guys are now thinking that all the fun is going out of life, but it isn't! So you can't have BBQ's anymore, nor red meat, and you may have to take up Tai Chi, but it isn't all bad. You can still have a beer or two, but not four, because Four beers a day 'could make you blind' (November 25, 2008)
Puts a whole new perspective on the expression 'Blind drunk', doesn't it? Of course some guys claim that they can drink beer by the gallon and never get drunk. Well firstly it ain't healthy and secondly, you might go blind! (My father told me it was something else that caused that! Can't remember what!) Personally I can't drink 2 beers without getting drunk. That doesn't mean I am a 'wuss', it just means I have bad 'genes'. You see, recent studies suggest that Genetic markers could determine people's drunkeness (December 09, 2008)
Well, I'll put my faith in this scientific research, despite that fact that while I am hooked on cigarettes, I am the first to go under the table when it comes to drinking. Warning: In China, if anyone invites you out to dinner, tell them you don't drink! Even if you do! While the genetic argument is accepted within the Australian academic world, they also seem to think that drunkeness is caused by either bad parenting and / or bad food when you were a kid. Genes, bad parenting keys to violence (April 10, 2008)
Between bad genes, bad parents and bad food, Australians are considering putting the drinking age back up to 21 years of age from the current drinking age of 18 years, because of the bad behaviour of our young adults. Drinking age could be lifted to 21 (Mar 23 2008)
Obviously everyone, both young and old needs to live a healthy lifestyle, eat good food, take it easy on the beer and get plenty of exercise. Since most Australians live on the coastline, and we have such marvelous beaches, it is tempting to suggest that everybody take long walks on the beach while sipping spring water and eating Tofu. But then again, even at the beach you have to watch out because Sitting on sand is bad for your health (Febr 03, 2008)
Actually, this is all beginning to sound a bit much isn't it? No BBQ's, no red meat, cut out the beer, take up exercise, don't have an afternoon kip (sleep), don't sit on the sand at the beach, don't be tall, don't have bad genes, don't have bad parenting, and don't drink coffee. Whoops! Slipped up there didn't I? Coffee, breast implants and deodorant are just fine for you! But other than that, just about everything is going to make you sick. But just in case you had begun to think that all the good things in life make you sick, here is some more news that is sure to make you certain that you are right. It now appears that Reality TV can make you sick (like we didn't already know that!) November 25, 2008
So there you have it! No TV, no afternoon kips, no meat, no beer, no beach going, but you can drink all the coffee you like! But on the plus side, while it is ok for your wife to have breast implants, if you save your money and keep her depressed, you are in for one helluva good time buddy! Well, that is unless Global warming catches up with you, and then you really are screwed! And on that score, take a read of a letter to the Magic City Morning Star News by Joseph Pasulka entitled: Flawed Foundation which asks a very pertinent question in relation to how our scientists have been measuring global warming. In the meantime: 'Best of British luck to you!' And don't forget: 'Science is our Friend!'
