Scientists would now have us believe that "climate change" is causing diseases to spread.   Specifically, they claim a recent outbreak in Europe of an obscure disease from Africa should be blamed on "global warming."   I'm having trouble understanding how it is that an organism which apparently can only exist or at least thrive in subtropical zones is now at home in temperate climates because the Earth warmed a grand total of less than 1.5 degrees Celcius over the past 100 years, though none of this increase has been observed in the last ten.   What about a degree or two change in global average temperatures makes disease spread from a hot arid area ten, twenty or more degrees warmer than another which routinely experiences frost and snow?   If an organism can exist only within a narrow range of temperatures and moisture, why would the fact that there are a bunch of stories in newspapers about polar bears drowning contribute its spread to areas which historically haven't been able to support it?
