What would be an example of one of the least possible harbingers of an infectious disease and I don't mean say, your average mosquito but I mean..
would you believe "used tires"?

Global warming is man made and real. If global warming is a natural occurence certainly we cannot call all human activity (from factories to modes of rail air sea and car transport) benign to the natural process and not contributers.
A) Global warming can also be called: "climate change".
a.1) Climate change, natural or man made can contribute to a food crisis.
a.1-b) As the costs of energy rise due to supply and demand, so do costs in agricultural production and adverse weather events i.e. cyclones can lower crop yields.
Talk about your adverse-inverse relationships.
But even with cyclones, cyclones followed by food shortages in combination with already rising food costs (global food prices have increased an average 43 percent since March 2007)
Theres still something else lurking behind but does not necessarily have to follow.
The threat of infectious disease as a result of manmade/natural
global warming.climate change need not be an international security threat.
