Most of us are aware of what global warming is and its consequences. Apart from all scenarios predicted by environmetalists or other scientises or even plans that some politicians put forward, there seems to be another reason why global warming may have a negative impact on our planet and life on it. A recent article titled: Lesson from America’s tropical epidemic claims that global warming may cause spread of harsh diseases such as the yellow fever, “as the range of where mosquitoes, ticks, mice and other carriers of disease can live expands” (26/02/2008).
"It's a very ugly disease — things like eyes bleeding, nose, ears, some pretty gruesome symptoms," Crosby says. "But then it also causes internal bleeding. And one of the telltale signs of yellow fever is what they call 'black vomit.' It's from digesting internal bleeding." (26/02/2008)
