Climate hazards such as flooding, heat waves and drought have worsened more than half of the hundreds of known infectious diseases in people, including malaria, hantavirus, cholera and anthrax, a study says.
Researchers looked through the medical literature of established cases of illnesses and found that 218 out of the known 375 human infectious diseases, or 58%, seemed to be made worse by one of 10 types of extreme weather connected to climate change, according to a study in Monday’s journal Nature Climate Change.
Doctors, going back to Hippocrates, have long connected disease to weather, but this study shows how widespread the influence of climate is on human health.
“If climate is changing, the risk of these diseases are changing,” said study co-author Dr. Jonathan Patz, director of the Global Health Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Doctors, such as Patz, said they need to think of the diseases as symptoms of a sick Earth.
“The findings of this study are terrifying and illustrate well the enormous consequences of climate change on human pathogens,” said Dr. Carlos del Rio, an Emory University infectious disease specialist, who was not part of the study. “Those of us in infectious diseases and microbiology need to make climate change one of our priorities, and we need to all work together to prevent what will be without doubt a catastrophe as a result of climate change.”

Thanks for the list.
There was a site that containing a running list of all the “disasters” caused by global warming, but I can’t find it anymore.
yeah, i had a list with like over 1000 things they have blamed on climatechange- i couldn’t find it in my quick search-
just about everything the climate alarmists/science deniers claim is refuted by the actual science- climatedepot . org has a ton of info refuting their wild claims-
A rubbish, lying, speculative, climate report. In any case, let God sort ‘em out the old fashioned way.
yea...B S
CoupFlu policy has as much to do with protecting public health as climate change policy has to do with saving the planet.
The re$ult$ of mo$t Studie$ i$ more $tudie$ needed
Ugh AP Has become a disease ridden rat corpse rotting in a land fill.
This is all bullshit.
Before we all die, universities should ban gas cars from their campus and ban all students from owning other than electric cars.
I estimate that 90% of infectious disease, including AIDS, monkeypox and all other STDs are attributable to leftists. In addition, I estimate that 98% of global poverty and human suffering is caused by leftists. My proof is better than the global warming proof.
Study connects climate propaganda to 98% of globull media.
It’s funny that there are never any reports about supposed climate change reductions happening since biden took over and caused a massive drop in travel because of high gas prices, and less shopping for folks etc- for over a year now- surely IF man were able to control the climate, the massive reduction in driving would be ‘helping the environment’ and decreasing ‘climate change’ no?
Oh Please!
Since climate change has never been actually correlated with any climate event then diseases have increased with no help from climate change. How about a study on the effect of mass, unregulated migration on disease incidence?
Do you think any of these researchers have ever heard about Richard Feynman’s 1974 speech on Cargo Cult science? Or did they just ignore it?
Seth (yawn) Borenstein back in the climate change sandbox.
Good call. I’ve believed that the lighting strike was a message from G-d to Biden, that he should prepare for his own strike.
I found that site...

But he stopped updating it - too much to keep up with.
