Yesterday the White House Press Secretary, Dana Perino, was giving a teleconference and mentioned that global warming and associated climate changes are actually a good thing.

Puzzled, one of the reporters in the crowd asked her:

You mentioned that there are health benefits to climate change. Could you describe some of those?

Her answer is stupendous in its stupidity.

Sure. Many people die from cold-related deaths every winter. And there are studies that say that climate change in certain areas of the world would help those individuals.

So she’s saying that because some people die of the cold, having the entire planet get warmer would help those people! Yaaaay! Go global warming!
