Jay Inslee promotes article on bogus pregnancy-climate study

This past weekend, Jay Inslee tweeted a link to a story that was just printed in Time Magazine.

Climate change is not just one issue — it’s every issue. It impacts every part of our lives. https://t.co/njg8GuWxAx

I read the Time Magazine story he linked to. Let’s get a glimpse of what they consider to be “science.”

It’s bad enough that adults have made a climatological mess of the world. It’s worse that the mess is having a disproportionate impact on kids—who did nothing to create the problem, but are more susceptible to health issues caused by rising temperatures than adults are. Now, it appears, global warming is doing its damage even further down the human age spectrum. According to a new study published in Nature Climate Change, rising temperatures may have a direct impact on human gestational time, increasing the risk of early delivery.

For reference, the article noted that premature birth is anything before 37 weeks, but that birth between 37 and 40 weeks “is still not considered ideal.”

Rep. Drew MacEwan tells Inslee to reimburse WSP for ‘vanity run’

Okay. How do we get to this? What, because you have a riding lawnmower babies are born prematurely? I read on to see where they got their data.

The UCLA and Claremont McKenna College professors conducting the study analyzed daily temperatures and county-by-county birthrates across the U.S. over two decades. When were these two decades? They were between 1969 and 1988.

So Jay Inslee tweeted out a link to a phony academic study using 50-year-old data. This is as junky as junk science gets. This is why people like me become skeptical of the climate cult.

It also struck me that Jay Inslee, while running for president, had one big message in addition to climate of why he should be the presidential nominee — he is very pro-choice. No one is ever going to settle the abortion debate, and I’m not asking anyone to change their mind. But it is just odd to me that Jay Inslee cares so much about the unborn when it comes to this climate study, yet during the campaign he made it one of his major messages that every woman should have the ability to get an abortion. Some states are now allowing abortions after the period in the pregnancy in which these premature babies were born. So don’t tell us about how much you care about unborn kids.
