Deforestation is a huge global problem, because it destroys animal habitats, deprives indigenous peoples of their traditional livelihoods and contributes to climate change. But if that doesn’t tip the scale for you, here’s yet another downside to be concerned about. Deforestation might have a role in this year’s outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, which already has killed 4,500 people there. The often-fatal disease now is raising anxiety in the United States, after two Dallas nurses caught Ebola while treating a Liberian refugee who eventually died.
Well we all know by now that this is becoming a world wide issue. US President Barack Obama said on Saturday that Americans cannot give in to hysteria. Well Mr President thats all well and good but something troubles me about that. You appoint an "attorney" as czar of the Ebola issue! What is an attorney going to do? Write a 50 page brief? I think that appointing some one with no medical background at all is a terrible idea!
