There have been rumors about Yellowstone being overdue for a super volcanic eruption circulating for years, but is there actually a timer on super eruptions? Can we predict that?

The US doesn’t experience much terrorism, we’ve had several attacks on US soil, but for the most part, we’ve had far less than other countries experience. In modern day terrorist attacks, the goal is to spread fear by directing violence against innocent victims. These attacks can be initiated by a government, a radical group, liberationists or “fre…

I’m often asked to talk about Global Warming, my answer to that is that I do. I talk about it in almost every 100 Seconds to Midnight episode. Global Warming either influences or affects just about everything that makes the clock tick down in one way or another. Today, I’m going to talk about global warming again. Specifically, how it affects infec…

For hundreds of years before Germ Theory was discovered, people were trying to find an explanation for the plagues and pestilence that followed them. As millions succumbed to the Black Plague, leprosy, rabies, and tuberculosis, there was no rhyme or reason for the death and destruction. They didn’t understand bacteria, viruses or parasites. Even th…

Hello and welcome to Cause of Death – 100 Seconds to Midnight. I’m your host, Jackie Moranty. In the last 50 years we’ve lost more than 4,000 species that are vital to their habitats. These animals played an important role in the support of their ecosystems. Some were predators and some were prey, but they all had one natural enemy: Man. As humans …

Hello and welcome to Cause of Death – 100 Seconds to Midnight. I’m your host, Jackie Moranty. I changed my mind mid-script. I decided that I needed to finish this season with a 100 Seconds to Midnight Episode on extinction.

Hello and welcome to Cause of Death – 100 Seconds to Midnight. Before we get started, I want to welcome my latest Patron to the family. Welcome Elizabeth! I’m so happy to have you here!

Hello and welcome to Cause of Death – 100 Seconds to Midnight. I’m your host, Jackie Moranty. In the last episode, I briefly mentioned White Nose Syndrome. It’s a terrible disease that has killed off about 90% of some species of bats in North America. If you haven’t listened to the last episode, I suggest that you go back and give that one a listen…

Bats are the base of several ecosystems and without them those ecosystems would fail, and with them, several food sources would also fail, but bats also carry some of the most deadly diseases known to mankind. SARS, MERS, coronavirus, Ebola, they all have natural reservoirs in bats. Because people fear them, maybe because they carry disease, maybe …

Rabbits, hares and pikas belong to a family of animals called “Lagomorphs” or order Lagomorpha. Rabbits and hares belong to the family Leporidae and pikas belong to the family Ochotonidae. While rabbits and hares have long ears, a short tail and very strong hind limbs that give them that characteristic bounding motion, pikas are smaller, have short…

For hundreds of years, man has been the greatest destroyer of the planet.

Often, the term food poisoning is used for both foodborne illnesses and foodborne intoxication.

Mary sent me an email with a news article attached. The article said that 47% of people don’t think that life will ever get back to normal after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Disinformation is a war waged on the citizens of countries in order to promote dissent and division among the people. We’re all vulnerable. We’re all targets.
