Okay let's try to keep "human caused global warming" out of this. This is purely climate change.

Climate change is as natural as the Earth is.

I find this frightening. With all the things we must worry about, let's add some nasty bug-borne diseases in there.

It's like were living in a catastrophe soup.

How does this have anything to do with the end times? you do realise how many epidemics there have been since the bible was written? maybe i didn't read your post right...Anyway,god they can really attempt to find anything and link it to climate change...its getting boring now.
