Climate change 'accelerating' brain infections, claims UK outlet the Telegraph
NEWS
ANDREW CHAPADOSDecember 09, 2022
 
U.K. outlet the Telegraph recently published an article claiming that climate change is accelerating the advance of a Japanese brain infection due to increased mosquito breeding.

The journalist claims that the Japanese encephalitis virus that affects upwards of 68,000 people annually has seen an increase in infections because climate change is causing more monsoons, which is allowing for more stagnant water to be breeding grounds for mosquitoes that spread the disease in Asia.

The article reads, "JEV is becoming more common in northeast India as the region contends with intensifying monsoon seasons and storms – the fallout of climate change."

The article also blames a "rise in global temperatures" that has "shortened the life cycle of mosquitoes, experts say, which means the bugs breed at a faster rate."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
