Weather May Cause More Kidney Stones
Over the years I’ve heard people blame the weather for a lot of different things, but this one sounds a little far fetched (at first). The weather has rained out parties and weddings; killed many a plant from a late spring freeze and even increased gang activity due to warm weather…but this latest headline is a little hard to believe.
As the planet warms during the coming century people will sweat more, not drink enough water to compensate and therefore develop more kidney stones. While the headline is a little bit of an unbelievable attention grabber (after all, I read the story thanks to the headline and am now trying to get you to do the same), in the scientific world of cause and effect…there are more idiotic claims floating around out there.
In a related note…world-wide darkness each night could lead to higher purchasing levels of light producing mechanisms.
