    Yeah. Every time we have one of these disasters, the health people brace themselves for an outbreak of water-borne diseases (as they should), but the pandemics never seem to really show up, do they?

    Extreme floods and droughts brought on by climate change can turn normally harmless infections into significant threats, international researchers said on Tuesday.

    What about the extreme floods and droughts brought on by normal weather variations? Those must be the ones we don’t have to worry about.

    But dicentra, what if they get hit by teh one-two punch!!?? Ouch and then ALSO ouch, I say. Stupid germs.

    I like the question at the top of the Facebook page: “Not the Allah you were looking for?”

    At Facebook, Allah Pundit feels neglected

    When I clicked that link it said “Friend Requested,” which I take to mean I have an outstanding friend request to Allah and he hasn’t responded.

    If he wants me to send another request I suppose I could do that, but I don’t like to seem needy.

    The interviewer followed up by asking the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize winner if he was asserting that “if Iran decides today to expel the IAEA from the country, it will need six months to produce weapons.”

    Well, yeah, see the way I read it, if the Iranians kick the IAEA out, it will only take them 6 months to make a weapon. The three years is how long it will take if the IAEA stick around and they have to do it right under their nose.

    The researchers studied two unusually lethal outbreaks of canine distemper virus or CDV that occurred in 1994 and 2001 in a population of lions in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.

    This is satire, right? RIGHT? ……

    I’m going back to bed.

    AGW. Is there anything it CAN”T do? If it didn’t exist, someone would have to invent it. Oh. Wait…

  8. Roboc says:

    The IAEA chief’s latest stunt: threatening to resign if an attack on Iran takes place.

    AFter the job the IAEA did in Iraq, who cares?

  9. JD says:

    BJ – There were never droughts in the Serenghetti prior to global warming. Or floods. Weather did not exist.

  10. JD says:

    This post was some kind of dog-whistle for the nishidiot, wasn’t it?

    The guestimating on how long Iran needs to complete production of a nuclear warhead reminds me of trying to tell my wife how much school I had left until I got my degree.

  12. Veeshir says:

    Global Worming is some sort of Old Testament-y, wrathful god, religion. You have to have faith.

    You have a Vengeful God (Mother Gaia) unleasing plagues on an imprius…. errr…. impious people. Global worming causes floods and droughts, too many hurricanes and too few, earthquakes, dead Loch Ness monster, diseases, war, crime, simple chronic halitosis, the heartbreak of psoriasis and, of course, the extinction of all life on Earth!!

  13. Roboc says:

    Was margarin or butter used in the “Last Tango in Paris”, just asking?

  14. TheGeezer says:

    Global worming causes floods and droughts

    THAT’S IT! NO MORE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE INTERNATIONAL CAT-AND-DOG-AND-HORSE-AND-COW WORMING COMMISSION!

    And they thought we wouldn’t notice the connection. HAH!

  15. The Lost Dog says:

    The new science –

    “might”, “maybe”, “could”, “perhaps”.

    The “new science” credo is: “Try to scare the shit out of them in any way possible”.

  16. The Lost Dog says:

    Geez,

    Where can I find this commission? I find that lately I’ve been dragging my ass acros the carpet because it’s been itching like hell.
    It really does feel good though.

    Maybe I’ll just skip it.
