I think you’re being a little ridiculous already.
There are alternative theories far more compelling than the “theory” you are proposing.
For example the Earth Fever Theory.
Briefly, as we all know, fever is the body’s first line defense against microorganisms.
So too on a larger scale the earth (as is scientifically proven) is undergoing global warming, earth fever if you will.
Clearly an attempt by Mother Nature to rid herself of these diseases.
A further proof to this is the recent upsurge in earthquakes, very much analogous to the shivering that accompanies a fever.
It all fits so well.
