Climate Connections 2: Swine Flu

Post categories:

Richard Cable | 19:23 UK time, Monday, 4 May 2009

It took a few days for it to rise up the Google rankings, but we have our first official sighting of a news story directly relating Swine Flu to global warming.

:

'Swine flu and climate change are inextricably related. Both are the end results of unbridled economic growth, environmental degradation and industrial agricultural practices. When will we ever learn that prevention is better than cure?'

The story is dated Thursday 30 April. Have you seen an earlier climate connection, or do you have climate connections of your own? Drop yours in as comments on this story.
