The world is now experiencing one of its regular climate change cycles (Jones et al 2012). However, this cycle is occurring more rapidly than earlier ones as the rate of temperature change is accelerated by human activities, especially those arising from greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbondioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide. Evidence for global warming includes observed increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global sea levels. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has been increasing over the last 50 years and may double during the current century. During the 21st century, the planets' surface temperature is likely to rise by 2.1-2.9 or 2.4-6.4 °C for lowest and highest emissions scenarios, respectively. The most economically important emerging viruses are members of the poytviruses, tospoviruses and begomoviruses. These types of viruses adapt rapidly to changing conditions, and a complex chain of events gives rise to the novel virus-vector-plant-environment interactions that lead to emergence. What will happen to viral diseases?

Abstract
The world is now experiencing one of its regular climate change cycles (Jones et al 2012). However, this cycle is occurring more rapidly than earlier ones as the rate of temperature change is accelerated by human activities, especially those arising from greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbondioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide. Evidence for global warming includes observed increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global sea levels. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has been increasing over the last 50 years and may double during the current century. During the 21st century, the planets' surface temperature is likely to rise by 2.1-2.9 or 2.4-6.4 °C for lowest and highest emissions scenarios, respectively. The most economically important emerging viruses are members of the poytviruses, tospoviruses and begomoviruses. These types of viruses adapt rapidly to changing conditions, and a complex chain of events gives rise to the novel virus-vector-plant-environment interactions that lead to emergence.
