"If physicians want evidence of climate change, they may well find it in their own offices. Patients are presenting with illnesses that once happened only in warmer areas.
Yes indeed.......

Water Quality and Beaver
Beaver ponds, and the wetlands that succeed them, remove sediments and pollutants from waterways, including total suspended solids, total nitrogen, phosphates, carbon and silicates.[17][18]
The term ‘beaver fever’ is a misnomer coined by the American press in the 1970s, following findings that the parasite Giardia lamblia, which causes Giardiasis, is carried by beavers. However, further research has shown that many animals and birds carry this parasite, and the major source of water contamination is by other humans.[19][20][21] Norway has many beaver but has not historically had giardia and New Zealand has giardia but no beaver. Recent concerns point to domestic animals as a significant vector of giardia with young calves in dairy herds testing as high as 100% positive for giardia.[22] In addition, fecal coliform and streptococci bacteria excreted into streams by grazing cattle have been shown to be reduced by beaver ponds, where the bacteria are trapped in bottom sediments.[23]
Habitat
The habitat of the beaver is the riparian zone, inclusive of stream bed. The actions of beavers for hundreds of thousands of years[not specific enough to verify] in the Northern Hemisphere have kept these watery systems healthy and in good repair, although a human observing all the downed trees might think that the beavers were doing just the opposite.
Note: Beavers are non-migratory animals and winter where they put so much effort building their home.
Guiding fishermen and big game hunters in the same areas a few years ago, one of the first instructions we gave them, don't drink the water no mater how clean it appears to be. We had several people who ignored our warnings and got very sick. One ended up in the hospital and damn near died.
Had it once myself, and no matter how thirsty I am these days, the stream water gets boiled, or I don't drink it
I believe the major Giardia contamination was caused by grazing sheep and cattle high in the headwaters of the streams and rivers during the summer. The beavers are innocent.
