Bleeding the planet dry? Climate change could unlock new threat to the world's blood supply
Climate change might impact the supply and demand chain when it comes to blood transfusions, a new study has found.
Researchers from Red Cross Lifeblood and the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) in Australia believe that blood-borne diseases as well as natural disasters are likely to disturb current patterns.
"As well as limiting the mobility of large numbers of people, these events disrupt the storage, safety, and transportation of blood which has a short shelf life," Dr Elvina Viennet, one of the researchers behind the study, said in a statement.
Are you fit only to be flung down like the corpse of a nation, its soul gone and its veins emptied of blood?

Gosh. Whenever did you hear of researchers reporting back that they found nothing to worry about?
Just more porn fear.
I can recommend the Sunshine Coast: the first time we saw pelicans gliding in to a harbour was marvellous. And the coast was pretty much unspoiled. I wonder whether that's still true. "the University of ..." doesn't sound very promising.
DJ - and a note at the end saying "Job done, no more funding required."
DAD - although they seem to be struggling with the fear.
dearieme - yes it sounds delightful. Even though we'll never go there, I hope it is mostly unspoilt, we need unspoilt.
Intense funded interest in 'climate change' causes a rush of blood to the head.
Tammly - it seems to and the pressure drives people to throw orange stuff at works of art or glue themselves to the road when the weather is a little warmer.
