Ecogenic diseases
Eco-idiots are
building a special sterile cave in Tennessee, hoping to attract lots of bats to hibernate away from the fungus that causes 'white-nose disease'.
How did the invasive disease get to Tennessee? From European ecotourists hiking the Appalachian Trail.
Somewhere around 200,000 people are killed each year by
iatrogenic disorders. Diseases caused by doctors and hospitals, such as MRSA bacteria and wrong prescriptions.
By analogy, we can call white-nose disease an
ecogenic disorder, a disease caused by eco-idiots.
Meanwhile on the other side of the country, huge numbers of bats are being slaughtered by wind turbines. Yet another ecogenic disease for bats, and indirectly an ecogenic disease for trees, because the millions of dead bats are no longer eating billions of forest-destroying insects.
And thousands of humans are starving due to corn diverted to biofuel; and thousands are freezing because eco-idiocy made energy unaffordable.
Whole lot of ecogenic disease.
