Thanks, you horrible carbon pollution spewing person wants to force Other People to practice what you preach
Take that, skeptics!: "Their model found that by 2089, kidney stone incidence would increase by 2.2 per cent in the first scenario, and by 3.9 per sent in the second" https://t.co/K58ptIJTXc

Rising temperatures from climate change will lead to more kidney stone cases, a new study has found.
Dr. Gregory Tasian is a pediatric urologist at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the lead author of the study, which was published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal Scientific Reports.
“While it is impossible to predict with certainty how future policies will slow or hasten greenhouse gas emission and anthropogenic climate change… our analysis suggests that a warming planet will likely cause an increased burden of kidney stone disease on healthcare systems,” Dr. Tasian said in a press release.
Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that can be very painful when passed through the urinary system. They can form for a variety of reasons, including diet, genetics, obesity and taking certain medications and supplements. According to the study, heat also plays a factor.
Are we able to compare this to kidney stone incidence during previous Holocene warm and cool periods?
To see how climate change could impact the prevalence of kidney stones, the researchers created a model based on South Carolina kidney stone case and climate data from 1997 to 2014. That information was then used to create two forecasts: one based on aggressive greenhouse gas reductions, and another based on unhindered emissions.
Computer models. Sigh. So, literally using data from a generally warm state during a limited time period, and blaming ‘climate change’. What happens if this doesn’t happen? The people involved with the study will most likely be gone, so, who gets blamed for the scaremongering?
