The global public health emergency involving deformed babies emerged in 2015, the hottest year in the historical record, with an outbreak in Brazil of a disease transmitted by heat-loving mosquitoes. Can that be a coincidence?
Over the coming decades, global warming is likely to increase the range and speed the life cycle of the particular mosquitoes carrying these viruses, encouraging their spread deeper into temperate countries like the United States.
lready, climate change is suspected - though not proven - to have been a factor in a string of disease outbreaks afflicting both people and animals. These include the spread of malaria into the highlands of eastern Africa, the rising incidence of Lyme disease in North America, and the spread of a serious livestock ailment called bluetongue into parts of Europe that were once too cold for it to thrive.

It’s an omen that we should not be letting turd worlders into our country. Further it is a warning for the foolish to be careful about where they go.
Thirty years ago I would have read this on a trashy tabloid in the checkout line at the grocery store, next to the story "Elvis Clone Reveals Jackie O's Secret UFO Diet." Journalism has become "Weekly World News."
Or tooth decay?
More proof the DDT ban was stupid.
As soon as the words “Could Be” appear in the headline, you know it’s BS.
It is an omen that the world is becoming more of a third-world cesspool with non-evolved cultures given full rein Part of the transformation that folks weary of having clean water and sanitation wanted to create.
Don’t they know that those evil mosquitos are liberals?
During Valentines day there were a couple of stories on how planets into the county have to be vigorously screened. Moving pets from the mainland to Hawaii even though this is the same country have to be quarantined.
So from strictly a public health viewpoint it doesn’t make sense not to screen people coming to the United States.
People are certainly more important than flowers and pets.
A little song, a little dance,
a little DDT down your pants...
Yes, tooth decay as well. I see you are a thorough researcher as well.
I know immediately an article is BS every time I see global warming or climate change.
Global Warming HAS to be the most robust scientific theory ever conceived. Every observation of everything offers proof of the theory.
I would read this with more consideration, but I am late for my morning zika class at the gym... :-)
I thought it was determined that the microcephaly at least, that was making people fear the Zika virus turned out to be from a pesticide.
Idiots’ll yell “Globullcrap Warning!” about most anything these days...
Because plagues never ever existed before in history!
You know, if this global warming continues, some day people will be growing crops and raising cattle in Greenland, and grapes may be growing in northern Scotland and in Labrador.
Hey! That diet really worked.
