If you want to really get worried, think about mosquito-borne diseases, in a

Agreed. Fortunately, ours isn't (slowly warming). At least that's what the • data
indicate when not interpreted by "junk science" advocates.


Everything I have read lately has been confirming that the world is indeed
slowly warming (currently).  Whether this is a natural phenomenon or not seems
to be much more under debate.  I'll ask my best personal source his opinions
when I get a chance (he was the former head of upper atmospheric research at
the Jet Propulsion Lab).

An insect-borne disease is much more of a problem than a sexually-transmitted
one, not to mention our growing reliance on an ever lessening number of
antibiotics.

THIS one, now this one is something to worry about. Keep messing with the drug
company profit models in large markets the way the US considered doing, and • the
UK already does, and you won't have any drug company R&D to find new ones
either.
