Now Climate Change Causes Traffic Accidents

This was reported by Roto-Reuters with a straight face:

Climate change – not increased use of cell phones – might be to blame for an unusual spike in road deaths that hit the United States two years ago, said a study published on Thursday.

The study said people might have used their vehicles more frequently to avoid increasingly bad weather – rising temperatures and heavier rainfall – resulting in an increased number of deaths on the road.

They must figure if they throw enough hysterical nonsense against the wall, something will eventually stick, and we will start taking their desperate lies seriously. We might plead to have taxes and regulations increased so that we won’t get in car accidents from driving away from the warmer weather.
