Blowing Smoke Over Global Warming
This:
Al Gore Speech on Katrina and Global Warming
Now, the scientific community is warning us that the average hurricane will continue to get stronger because of global warming.
Gives us this:
Study links hurricane stress to teen smoking
Teenagers in a southeast Texas county were more likely to smoke cigarettes if they or their family members were affected by Hurricanes Katrina or Rita, according to a university study. ..."The hurricanes had an emotional impact on the youth and we need to recognize that and give them the help they need. Otherwise, they use tobacco as a crutch and then they become addicted."
Mankind makes global warming worse, which makes hurricanes worse, which makes kids smoke more, which kills them. None of this has anything to do with other factors, naturally. And, it's Bush's fault, too.

Fred, the kid tried to buy beer, but he couldn't lift the 6 pack up to the counter.

Fred has it right again - Beer is required with a smoke! Where was Fred when it came time to lift the beer up for the kid!? lol

The article said that the hurricane made kids smoke...not become drunks. One step at a time. Later, we can be accused of ruining all aspects of the lives of kids because we didn't get behind Al Gore's GW crusade.
