BRUSSELS (AP) — Warning: The warming of the world's oceans can cause serious illness and may cost millions of euros (dollars) in health care.
That is the alarm sounded in a paper released online Tuesday on the eve of a two-day conference in Brussels.
The 200-page paper is a synthesis of the findings of more than 100 projects funded by the European Union since 1998. It was produced by Project CLAMER, a collaboration of 17 European marine institutes.
The paper says the rising temperature of ocean water is causing a proliferation of the Vibrio genus of bacteria, which can cause food poisoning, serious gastroenteritis, septicemia and cholera.
"Millions of euros in health costs may result from human consumption of contaminated seafood, ingestion of waterborne pathogens, and, to a lesser degree, though direct occupational or recreational exposure to marine disease," says the paper. "Climatic conditions are playing an increasingly important role in the transmission of these diseases."

Project Clamer..
no relation to a Leftist media’s ‘Project Clymer’..
Climate Change and European Marine Ecosystem Research.
CLAMER is funded under the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme.
Seems that the only thing spreading is bullcrap....
Wait, I thought I just read something about another La Nina heading our way. Isn’t that supposed to be the result of cooling oceans?
Oh noes.... we are all going to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Notice how all these stories are coming out before Al Gore’s big 24 hours of gorebull warming? They neglected to tell everyone that it will just be a one hour recording played over and over.
They should protect bacteria, they are very small. Humans are bad for earth.
No change then, the ocean already costs millions of euros (dollars) in Healthcare.
I will sleep easy tonight.
I am skeered Algore. Halp me.
We can look at a trend, but that too is confusing. The oceans have some very long cyclical trends, around 800 years, and we've only had modern measurement systems very recently. So, we're stuck with looking at a tiny data window and trying to paste it on horrendously long-term trends that we don't know. Certainly one 800-year trend isn't statistically enough either.
In short, anyone who talks about sea temperatures, ice melting, and especially sea level rises, is full of kelp. These numbers cannot be pinned down and ultimately are what anyone wants them to be.
Yes indeed! Cabbage Patch Gore is making a run at cheap publicity. I made it abundantly clear on my FaceBook page that anyone that has donated their page to Gore for the 24 hour period will be relegated to the wastebin of history - for being ignorant.
Key words: Yahoo, AP.
Warmer oceans? Has La Nina been cancelled? Good...we could use a little “climate change” here in Texas.
Oh Kaaaay. So don't drink seawater.
(D'oh!)
Cook the dang sushi!
Problem solved!
Vibrio is the cause of seafood born food poisoning or sickness from contaminated water. It is related to Cholera. It’s not new or special.
This is fear mongering.
Vibrio vulnificus outbreaks commonly occur in warm climates and small, generally lethal, outbreaks occur regularly. An outbreak occurred in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina [7] and several lethal cases occur most years in Florida.[8]
