No, really. Some Warmaweenies are proclaiming that “climate change”, ie, you driving your fossil fueled vehicle (not me, of course) is causing all sorts of diseases to make the blood supply bad, because disease, like, say, the Black Plague which killed around 75 million people during the Little Ice Age period, never happened before the combustion engine, and mosquitoes which could carry disease suddenly popped into existence in 1980 (via Junk Science)
(E&E News) A whole new set of ungovernable pathogens are being loosed on the world’s blood supplies. A warming climate has allowed blood-borne tropical diseases to flourish where once they were unheard of, and they’re getting around.
The state of blood supplies became worrisome after tennis star Arthur Ashe’s death from AIDS 20 years ago in 1993 — the result of an HIV-tainted transfusion administered during a routine heart bypass operation in the late 1980s.
