That was unfair, because it was the people of the rich countries in the
temperate zone - North America, Europe and Japan, mainly - who industrialised early and started burning large amounts of fossil fuel as long as two centuries ago.
They are distributed in
temperate zones of the northern hemisphere, disjunctly in the central and equatorial Andes, and in southern South America, New Zealand, and Australia (Hoffmann, 1999).
In the
temperate zone of the northern hemisphere, active but declining pandemic influenza transmission persists in limited areas of eastern and southern Europe, South Asia, and in East Asia.
The world's
temperate zones take in the heavily populated regions of southern Australia, southern Africa, the southern Europe-Mediterranean-Middle East region, the south-western United States, northern Mexico and southern South America.
They published in 1999 an article in English titled, "Diversity of seasonal adaptations in terrestrial true bugs (Heteroptera) from the
temperate zone", which is a review of known literature including that derived from their own independent research.
pseudomallei in this study were isolated in the subtropical zone of Taiwan, but 2 clones (S2 and S7) that each caused 1 case of melioidosis were found in the
temperate zone. The 2 patients infected with the S2 and S7 clones lived [approximately equal to]200 km north of the boundary between the subtropical and
temperate zones and had not crossed this boundary for [greater than or equal to]3 years.
It is home to the Entebbe Botanical Gardens--established in 1898--which house 309 plant species of the tropical, sub-tropical and
temperate zones. From Entebbe to Kampala is only a 25-minute drive, but one immediately begins to understand why Sir Winston Churchill called Uganda "the pearl of Africa".
Temperate zones such as Europe, the United States and Australia are not spared, underlines the FAO, which believes that globalisation, the movement of goods and persons, tourism, urbanisation and probably also climate change favour the propagation of animal viruses on a planetary scale.
Bringing greetings from Archbishop Gregory Venables, primate of the Anglican province of the Southern Cone of South America, Argentine ecumenical patriarch Elias Crisostomo Abramides described the effects of climate change in Argentina, from melting and receding glaciers to eroding coastlines, as well as intensifying desertification and increasing outbreaks of tropical diseases such as malaria and dengue fever in formerly
temperate zones.
In
temperate zones, West Nile virus encephalitis cases primarily occur in the late summer and early fall.
There are about 70 species of mistletoe growing wild across the world's
temperate zones but only one that matters at Christmas time in Britain ( Viscum album, with wishbone-shaped pairs of leaves and pairs of white berries that can be toxic to humans.
