yep, global warming did it!

Indonesia at health risk in climate change JAKARTA (JP):The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) warned Wednesday that Indonesia could expect more frequent and severe outbreaks of dengue fever and diarrhea as a result of global warming.
"A recent rise in dengue fever cases during the rainy season in Indonesia may be caused by extreme changes in precipitation patterns and warming temperatures," WWF-Indonesia's program director for climate and energy, Fitrian Ardiansyah told a mediagathering Wednesday.
"Bogor in West Java, for instance, recently recorded a significant increase in the number of dengue fever patients, which was previously not the case."
In addition to the impact of global warming on human health in Indonesia, WWF's report, titled Change in Indonesia - Implications for Humans and Nature, shows that climate change has also affected the country's overall water availability, sea levels, biodiversity and ecosystem.
A study conducted by WWF-Indonesia on Lombok Island, for instance, revealed that there was a disturbance to the island's ecosystem and functions, including a significant reduction in the amount of available spring water.
According to WWF-Indonesia's executive director and CEO, Mubariq Ahmad, because climate change's impacts are already noticeable in Indonesia, the country should lead the way in the fight against global warming.
"Indonesia is the fourth most populous nation in the world and home to a staggering amount of biodiversity on this planet. The government must take its role seriously and lead the way," he said.

and the flooding! = GLOBAL WARMING!

hmmm, the print edition of the paper said it was Global warming this online edition hsa been modified!

Regional warming worsens Jakarta's flood BANDUNG (JP): Jakarta's regular floods can be partially blamed on global and regional warming, a scientist has said.
"This will get worse in the years to come. It has been estimated that by 2050, 25 percent of Jakarta will be inundated," said Armi Susandi, a climate change expert at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) on Wednesday.
He added that poor city planning, bad zoning systems and a lack of infrastructure were contributing to the problem.
Armi has studied flooding in Jakarta since 2005. He received his Ph.D on climate change in 2004 from the University of Hamburg, Germany.
He said regional climate change such as has take place in Jakarta has the potential to increase local temperatures, "inviting" more rain.
"The city's severe pollution has created regional warming. This warming has moved the rain from Bogor in the south to Jakarta in the north," he said. (Yuli Tri Suwarni)
