The biological agent most likely to be used as a biological weapon is Bacillus anthracis, which causes the anthrax infectious disease. During the Cold War, it was present in large quantities in the military arsenals of some states, and at the beginning of the 21st century was used in a series of small bioterrorist attacks. In case of occurrence of events using Bacillus anthracis, urgent and adequate qualitative and quantitative response measures are needed to manage the consequences of the attack and to reduce the effects on public health. These include complex and well-coordinated activities to ensure medical intervention for the prophylaxis, treatment and recovery of patients. General prophylaxis is achieved by vaccination, individual and collective CBRN protection, decontamination, partial and total sanitary treatment, microbiological analysis for the detection, identification and confirmation of the biological agent. Therapy for disease induced by weaponized B. anthracis differs from classic antrax disease regarding antibiotics, doses and time, resulting a large antibiotic consumption per case. Complete recovery of the patients is achieved not only in terms of restoring normal biological parameters, but also in terms of the organism's "sterilisation" regarding the causal biological agent.

"The evolution of the planet's climate is multifactorial influenced and has a dynamic over time. Many scientists have approached this controversial field, and each relies on objective but divergent statistics. Geographers have established that planet Earth is in a period of slight slow cooling, not at the level of the four prehistoric ice ages, but only at the level of the Little Ice Age from the Middle Ages which probably caused the great migration of peoples from Asia to Europe. This slow cooling is only slowed down and may even be partially reversed by anthropogenic activities. The industry produces large amounts of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels and other greenhouse gases. Animals produce carbon dioxide through respiration and digestion, some also methane. The waste degradation, fires, volcanic eruptions, swamps, and thawing of permafrost release carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Climate change exit and has always existed, but there is no scientific evidence for global warming or for climate risks other than those we already know. Public health is already facing danger, directly and indirectly, for multiple reasons, to which "climate change" is added. "
