#1 In the 14th century the plague killed around 34 million people and some academics believe it reappeared every generation...

Some Academics? Some idiots. Its appears every year in New Mexico. Usually one to two dozen cases every year. There have been 238 cases of human plague in New Mexico since 1949 with 30 deaths. Most human plague cases have occurred in the northern counties of New Mexico: Bernalillo, McKinley, Rio Arriba, San Miguel, Sandoval, Santa Fe and Taos. More info here.

#2 Let's face it. We're all going to die from some damn disease. Might as well roll over and croak right now.

I'm giving up my life-long dream of dying from being shot at the age of 90 by the lesbian lover of my 18 year old girlfriend.

#3 Seems to me a warmer climate might actually decrease the chance of an influenza pandemic people are predicting.

But isn't there an asteroid with our name on it, and supervolcanos and all that. We're doomed no matter what we do so its just a matter of finding a way to blame Bush.

#5 Umm, guys, anyone notice something wierd here?

"After 1855, when it (plague) reappeared again, there were once again similar weather conditions."

I thought all this global warming s*** was UNprecedented. If this has happened before, then maybe it ain't the industrial revolution and Bush and Haliburton after all. I mean I know he's blamed for s*** that happened before he was elected, but, before his father (and probably grand-father) was BORN??? That's a little too wacky.

#8 I think this one calls for the "Gloom, Doom" graphic.

#9 The same people used to claim that global cooling would result in more epidemics because the population would be huddled together for warmth.
