From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

h\/t Ian Magness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s climate lies come from the Standard:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The West Nile virus has been found in <\/em>mosquitoes<\/em><\/a> collected in <\/em>Britain<\/em><\/a> for the first time, the <\/em>UK<\/em><\/a> Health Security Agency has said.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is usually found in birds, and typically circulates through bird-biting <\/em>mosquitoes<\/em><\/a>. In rare cases <\/em>mosquitoes<\/em><\/a> can transmit the virus to humans or horses.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its arrival is due to climate change, with experts saying warmer weather has made it possible for mosquitoes to spread further north than they have in previous years.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.aol.co.uk\/news\/west-nile-virus-potentally-deadly-100515475.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its deceptive title, the West Nile Virus does not come from the Nile, although apparently the first recorded case was in Uganda in 1937.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virus is already widely established across all of the 48 states<\/a> in the contiguous United States and most of Europe \u2013 in other words in places with much colder climates than here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be transmitted by most mosquitoes, not just tropical ones,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its life cycle passes from mosquitoes to birds, and back to other mosquitoes who bite the infected birds. These mosquitoes are part of the Culex genus, which thrive worldwide except for the extreme northern parts of the temperate zone, and are the most common form of mosquito encountered in some major U.S. cities, such as Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The birds they infect are also extremely common and widespread, such as crows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, the spread of the virus to Britain has nothing at all to do with global warming. It was inevitable sooner or later that an infected mosquito or bird would find its way across the English Channel or North Sea, probably amongst cargo or on a lorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that the virus was only known about in 1937, it has undoubtedly existed for thousands of years, and almost certainly here as well, without it being realised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as with malaria and other mosquito borne diseases, the solution was worked out years ago by our forefathers \u2013 get rid of the mosquito breeding grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
