The BBC says:
Climate change may hasten the spread of diseases that can move from wild animals to humans, warns the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in a report.
The Deadly Dozen highlights 12 zoonoses - animal-borne diseases - that may spread as the climate warms.
The US-based organisation advocates establishing a global early warning network making use of Western and indigenous people's knowledge.
...
WCS acknowledges that climatic shifts could also lessen the prospects for some zoonotic diseases.Without observations, it suggests, we cannot really know; and wild animals can act as early indicators of disease.
Surprise, another scare story about global warming. Because nothing positive can happen with global warming, instead everything must get worse, otherwise you will get no publicity for your agenda. Well, N paragraphs down from the top, we get some balance. But, surprise, the BBC is pushing the scare story (not many people get N paragraphs down).
