UN-CLIMATE-WARMING-SCIENCE-ECOSYSTEMS-FILE
TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Jean-Louis Santini
(FILE) Picture taken on August 28, 2008 showing a boat skimming through the melting ice in the Ilulissat fjord, on the western coast of Greenland. Some experts are concerned that global warming could be causing the spread of new diseases in the world's oceans, and that the thawing of ice in the Arctic has removed a key barrier, allowing pathogens to move into new areas and infect vulnerable creatures. A parasite that is found in cats and can cause brain disease, blindness and miscarriage in people has been found for the first time in Arctic beluga whales, said on February 13, 2014 Michael Grigg, a molecular parasitologist with the US National Institutes of Health.
