Salt and Global Warming

According to a recent article in Scientific American (here), salt should no longer be considered a danger to our health. This is after decades of warnings, with even corporations developing low-sodium versions of some of our foods. But now all that may be changing, if this article is right.

This is not only welcome news for people who were suspicious of this or who found a low-salt diet burdensome, it is also a victory for those of us skeptics on global warming, for it reminds people that in certain areas that are very complicated – the human body being one and our climate being another – reverses like this are to be expected. The best response to the announcement of global warming back in 1988 would have been, “Well, that’s interesting. Get back to us in thirty years.” Instead, there was warning after warning, with people getting quite hysterical about the whole business, demanding legislation and calling us skeptics the equivalent of flat-earthers or Holocaust deniers. And all for what is probably nothing.

See here, by the way, about a possible ice age coming our way. And take a look at this; yet another scandal involving an environmentalist.
