Here’s a little light weekend reading for you!!

The Wildlife Conservation Society released a report a couple of days ago saying that a dozen deadly diseases, all with the potential to have major impact on not only human and animal health but also on global economies (as if the global economy needs any more help in falling apart), could easily spread into new regions as a result of climate change,

The report, The Deadly Dozen: Wildlife Diseases in the Age of Climate Change, highlights 12 deadly diseases that appear likely to spread around the world due to climate-induced temperature and precipitation level changes.

Avian influenza
Babesiosis
Cholera
Ebola
Intestinal and external parasites
Lyme disease
Plague
“Red tides”
Rift Valley Fever
Sleeping sickness
Tuberculosis
Yellow fever

Scary stuff. It’s enough to make you want to run away and hide…

But hide where ??
