There are many things happening because of global warming like ice caps melting, animals migrating, and change in weather. When I say animals I mean insects. Its no secret about the disease insects carry like for instance the mosquitoes because places on the earth are becoming warmer insects can travel and live in new areas. Ever heard of Dengue fever? The Aedes mosquitoes can only live in warm tropical weather. Due to global warming they have been found in the Netherlands even Texas and Italy. WHO (World Health Org) say this is the first time a disease only found in the tropics reach Europe. Also as high altitudes because warmer, mosquitoes are moving up. The Aedes mosquitoes have been found at 5,600 feet a Mexico and 7,260 in the Aedes. Dengue fever can also lead to cholera and Malaria.
