Global Warming could resurrect long-dormant diseases.  http://www.livescience.com/environme...g_results.html Quote: | You've probably heard about the global warming song and dance: rising temperatures, melting ice caps and rising sea levels in the near future. But Earth's changing climate is already wreaking havoc in some very weird ways. So gird yourself for such strange effects as savage wildfires, 25-mile long icebergs, disappearing lakes, freak allergies, and the threat of long-gone diseases re-emerging. | For over 100 years expedition and camps have been exploring Antarctica. Running test and experiments on ice core samples and what they have found is horrific. Quote: | As nations around the globe argue if global warming is real, what damage it will cause and who will cover the cost to halt or repair it, some rouge scientist are sure of one thing as the ice melts “coastal flooding is the least of our worries”. | http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles...lobal_warming/ http://www.antarcticconnection.com/a...ns/index.shtml Quote: Now with the rapid melting of the ice shelf and new land exposers, many scientist fear a new wave of deadly killer airborne micro organisms will be set free and sweep across the planet.
They have been working frantically to study what they have found so far to try to come up with cures or immunities.
Micro organisms can survive in extreme cold and pressure for thousands if not millions of years. Most have proven to not be a problem the affects are like a cold or the flu, while others are unstable and can mutate into viruses that pose a threat as a world wide epidemic. | http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/basclub/deaths.html http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/ice
