Global Warming Spreading Pests Far and Wide According To Study

An anonymous reader writes "New research has concluded that global warming is helping pests and diseases that attack crops to spread around the world. 'Researchers from the universities of Exeter and Oxford have found crop pests are moving at an average of two miles (3km) a year. The team said they were heading towards the north and south poles, and were establishing in areas that were once too cold for them to live in. The research is published in the journal Nature Climate Change.'"

Strange. My first thought was "Al Gore; Kyoto delegates; Chinese; French!"

That said, I think that global warming is a valid concern. My biggest problem with the environmentalists is that they often do even more destruction with their willy-nilly unjust laws.

And injustice does cause environmental problems. Now that I'm losing my car, for example, I won't be recycling; I don't have the means. And when people can't afford plumbing, they end up with the contamination in slums.
