Read here. The recent outbreak in Europe of the 'blue tongue' disease (cattle, sheep, goats, etc. are affected) has been blamed on climate change due to global warming. In a peer-reviewed study, scientists have determined that global warming is not the culprit - AGW alarmists are blue as a result.
"The two German researchers report that "BTD was the first 'exotic' disease to arrive," but that "it did not slowly spread northwards but jumped in through a still unknown entry point.".....As for possible routes of introduction of the virus, they mention BTV-positive ruminants imported either legally or illegally, virus-carrying midges transported by wind over hundreds of kilometers, accidental importation by ship or aircraft, contaminated vaccines and trade with the products of infected animals.....Kampen and Werner conclude that "it is due to continuing globalization rather than to climate change that even central and northern Europe are at risk of new pathogens as well as vectors of disease entering and establishing.""
