I wash wash wash! Then I warm warm warm warm!
Wow! Since “Climategate” we seem to be coming up with a seemingly endless supply of new things caused by global warming. Just in the past few days we’ve heard it will cause sex problems, 3 minutes of rain in the Arctic, increased allergies, and we’ve even heard that plants now cause global warming. It’s totally amazing! It seems everything and anything is caused by global warming or it will cause global warming. Is there no limit to its insidiousness?
Today’s symptom of global warming is….Ta!Da!……. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder!
At least in this case it may be partially true. Read on for more information on the subject.
This may actually explain a lot about some of the “warmers.” The sad reality is many of them may really be mentally ill and suffer from OCD regardless if it’s really caused by global warming or not. Perhaps they just can’t help themselves. If you hoard, compulsively wash your hands, double, triple and quadruple check if the toaster is unplugged you may have OCD. I’d assume that the compulsive obsessing about global warming could possibly in and of itself be considered to be an OCD.
Per this article from Voxy in New Zealand it’s a diagnosed problem.
The Royal Australian and New Zealand Collage of Psychiatrists’ Congress at Sky City Convention Centre in Auckland brings together mental health experts in a diverse range of areas; from children and adolescents to old age, mental health across the lifespan will be discussed. Here are some highlights from this morning’s program.
A recent study has found that global warming has impacted the nature of symptoms experienced by obsessive compulsive disorder patients.
Climate change related obsessions and/or compulsions were identified in 28% of patients presenting with obsessive compulsive disorder. Their obsessions included leaving taps on and wasting water, leaving lights on and wasting electricity, pets dying of thirst, leaving the stove on and wasting gas as well as obsessions that global warming had contributed to house floors cracking, pipes leaking, roof problems and white ants eating the house.
Compulsions in response to these obsessions included the checking of taps, light switches, pet water bowls and house structures.
“Media coverage about the possible catastrophic consequences to our planet concerning global warming is extensive and potentially anxiety provoking. We found that many obsessive compulsive disorder patients were concerned about reducing their global footprint,” said study author Dr Mairwen Jones. (9am)
It sounds to me like perhaps 28% of the “warmers” may have an excuse to sue people like Al Gore, Michael Mann, Phil Jones, James Hansen, et al, when the “warmers” finally figure out that global warming is a scam and these people may have caused some severe mental disorders over this. There was even a man in Brazil who was so upset about global warming that he killed his wife and children (one, amazingly, did live) and then himself because he was so distraught about global warming and what might happen. The global warming fraud hasn’t only caused financial problems it’s literally killed people and now it appears it’s making them mentally ill.
It you’re unfamiliar about OCD here’s some snippets from the web about what OCD is.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by uncontrollable, unwanted thoughts and repetitive, ritualized behaviors you feel compelled to perform.
Like a needle getting stuck on an old record, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) causes the brain to get stuck on a particular thought or urge.
Obsessions are involuntary, seemingly uncontrollable thoughts, images, or impulses that occur over and over again in your mind. You don’t want to have these ideas – in fact, you know that they don’t make any sense. But you can’t stop them. Unfortunately, these obsessive thoughts are usually disturbing and distracting.
My own opinion on this is that OCD isn’t actually caused by global warming because there isn’t any to cause it. I feel the OCD is caused by the fear of global warming. The people who keep shrillness level up by continually promoting this fraud should be ashamed.
This, is literally a case of CO2 Insanity.

I know two that I am communicating with on the web that would fit either the promotional group or the victim group. It is good to see that some see the relationship between promoting a fantasy and OCD.
