More standard-issue BS

Tropical ecosystems lost to climate change could increase disease risk in humans
Climate change could destroy tropical ecosystems and have a knock-on effect on human health, claims new research funded by the National Science Foundation.

Laurie Vitt, curator of reptiles and George Lynn Cross Research Professor at the University of Oklahoma’s Sam Noble Museum of Natural History, says the smallest change in climate could have a devastating impact on eco-systems in tropical areas.

how about some old research funded by the National Science Foundation?
They found that the hockeystick is bulshit. They found that Michael Mann is a fraud who should be rotting in jail, rather then pushing more bullshit at gullible children and the public.

As far as Laurie Vitt, she should be seeking another job. She or anyone else who claims that small changes in climate would have devastation impacts on eco-systems in tropical areas isn't qualified to curate or reseach for the UofOK Museum.

Common sense is missing. We know that the hottest temperatures never come from the tropics, but rather from the mid lattitudes, despite the tropics situated at the equator receiving the most sunshine.
This is because of the buffering effect of the principle GHG which is water vapor.
Evaporative cooling Laurie - take off your blinders and good luck at your next occupation, moron.
