Provided the average temperature is getting higher, accordingly all forms of germs, viruses, and influenza etc are more likely to multiply.
Some skeptics say the warning against hazards of climate change is overstated, but judging from more frequent and widespread outbreaks of e. coli, salmonella, and bird, swine flu cases endangering human lives and economic recovery seriously, some prompt measures need to be taken, I guess.
commercial raised cattle is rude. it is inhumain. how could people treat animals that way and sleep at night. it is crule. if i could get my way i would hurt the farmers a lot, and torture them like they do there animals. that is why we have e coli, very bad living conditions for animals. are you kidding me, climate change, how about cruelty. who ever said climate change, is an dumb ass. there is nothing wrong with eating meat, just the way the animals are treated. they dont need to be tortured before they are killed, the animals could live an ok life in ok conditions, and then killed for meat. instead we are cruel to them and hurt them their whole life, and then over half of them are butcherd alive, you dont know about those. the farmers keep that from you, they want you to think they are nice, but they are really animal terrorist. i am talking about all kinds of meet farmers, cows, pigs, chickens.
