<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Italian village first host to outbreak of spreading tropical disease]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by JennyP http://www.grist.org/article/italy1/ Thu, 27 Dec 2007 05:18:48 -0800 http://www.grist.org/article/italy1/1 Not from climate change, but from immigration

and increased trade dependence. Or perhaps it's another one of those repercussions you people refuse to consider because it's an inconvenient truth? Did the writer of this piece get his or her jollies off writing this? It sure sounded like it to me. It certainly speaks volumes about the lack of ethical standards involved. You people are so like your slave owning ancestors it's shocking.

We've seen other tropical diseases spreading because of increased immigration and trade. West Nile, Malaria and other diseases. You can't lie and twist everything to suit your own ends. It just shows you for the cowardly propagandists that you are.

    Dear JennyP,

        The disease spread because the mosquitoes that carry it can now live in places they could not live before.  That is because those places are warmer.  That is because of global warming.  It has nothing to do with immigration.  Tourists could have carried them back.
