Death by Fungi
Nature is freaky! Watch this video in which ant gets infected by a fungi which takes over their brain, and grows spores out if its head:
This fungus specializes in insects, but imagine if there was one that infects mammals, or even humans. Would it make us climb trees and telephone poles? How big would be the spore baring stem that would sprout from human head? Judging from the movie, it was almost the same length as the ant’s body. So would an infected human turn into a 10-11′ tall spore baring tree?
Who wants to make a movie about this? I think someone should!

Well, it’s unlikely that anything like this would ever attack humans so I think we can safely concentrate on the global warming.
But it would make for cool science-fiction/horror scenario.

Back in the day, x-files had an episode about a fungus that made people’s heads explode and spray spores out to infect others.
