#4 Any mention of the additional kidney stone cases brought about by popular high protein, low carb diets (i.e.: South Beach)? I bet more occur due to that than AGW. Gonna outlaw those diets?

#5 Total and utter bunk. Sitting around in our air conditioned splendor, we get kidney stones because we don't make ourselves drink the amount of water our body requires. That is by far the most common cause of kidney stones. I know, I got three cause of that. Unlike alot of people though, I LEARNED and changed behavior to try and ensure I drink as much or more than my body requires. As a result, no new stones.

So if you don't want them, drink lots of water. ESPECIALLY if you live in places where virtually all the bedrock is limestone.

Of course, since the earth hasn't been warming the past ten years, this is just more hot air from the morons of the MMGW crowd.

#6 The only thing man-made about global warming is the fantasy that it exists at all.

#7 One formula showed an increase in the southern half of the country, including the already existing "kidney stone belt" of the southeastern states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

The dreaded GW has also led to a dramatic increase in Kudzu. They've even named a Mountain after the bloody Stones. Don't come here... it's already too crowded and there's a serious shortage of good urolgists.

#8 either by not drinking enough liquid or losing too much due to high heat conditions.

Well, I drink a lot of beer, so I got that going for me, which is nice...
