viruses will conduct themselves in the same manner as if there were no climate change. Humans just may have a weaker immune.

I disagree because a virus needs a host to survive however it can mutate and change DNA information as well as adapt to different internal environments (apart from climate change). In the article, it states, "the virus doesn't seem to care what the average global temperature is..."

Although I would agree that human activity, such as deforestation and pollution, has greatly reduced populations (and led to extinction) and made them less stable and more susceptible to disease and the spread of, I would disagree that climate change itself has resulted in MANY viruses-- maybe some, but I would need to see more evidence to believe that it is MANY. I would be completely on board with the statement “Human Activity” has brought on many, but again, would need to see more evidence that the change in the climate itself.

Zoonoses are the culprits of these pandemics, and human contact with animals is required for transmission.  Habitat loss due to human expansion, the sale and consumption of wild animals, and growing urban populations of animals have all contributed to this pattern.  Climate change is a factor, but there are other elements at play here.

Humans have chosen to interact with animals (eating exotic animals, owning exotic animals). More interactions cause an increase in viral transmission.

Viruses are opportunistic and will find a host - pandemics will happen even without climate change.

This is an overly generalized statement.  To what degree are we “affecting humans?”  I think a better statement might be Without the habitat disruptions, globalized movement of people and goods, and dense populations living in close proximity with various animals (domestic and exotic)......many of the viruses that have caused pandemics in the last 100 years would not have affected humans to the same degree.

# data[].attributes.body
There are so many variables that contribute to disease outbreaks that one can not definitively say that climate change is the cause.

# data[].attributes.body
An increase in Earth's temperature would not cause an increase in MOST diseases. Tropical diseases, such as malaria or yellow fever, can be linked to increase in mosquitos. However, the big pandemics of the last 100 years happened at temperate climates and during their winters.

# data[].attributes.body
There will always be some level of interaction between humans and animals, therefor viral outbreaks have (and will continue) to happen regardless of the changing climate

even without climate change viruses will still have affected people. It may not occur as much but it will happen

Climate change as a denoted term, refers to human interactions with the environment in regards to our footprint. Climate change usually refers to our polluting activities and how we are warming the Earth. However, climate change has not been evidenced to corroborate scientific data. Seasonal temperature changes are more correlated and causated to the life cycle of a virus but I do not see a correlation or causation to climate change.

Disease will always be apart of life. Mutations will continue to have an effect.

Viruses and pandemics have been around for years. Climate change is a more recent change. There is not enough to prove that climate change links to viruses or pandemics

I disagree. Human beings have been experiencing pandemics/epidemics throughout history. Athens experienced a horrible plague in 430 BC, Philadelphia dealt with Yellow Fever in the 1700's. Although climate change has contributed to the spread and severity, we would still be experiencing pandemics without it.

There has been animal-human interactions since the beginning of time. Humans at some point would've been exposed. We aren't immune to everything.

I disagree with this statement because climate change has not been as much of an issue 100 years ago as it is today. Therefore, there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that humans would or would not have been affected by said viruses.

According to studies over the past twenty years, climate change is not shown as the most prevalent motivating factor behind the spread of all viruses or increase sin transmission rates. This is due to the temperature range in which the viruses transmit most efficiently. It is not constant for all viruses, but rather a range of temperatures.
Rather, it is human destruction of animal habitats that forces inter-species interaction that causes a large portion of viral, especially novel viruses, transmission.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes..I think that climate change due to human activity has impacted viruses however humans are social beings and viruses would still be affected by these viruses. Humans also interact with animals and could easily be transmitted by them!

more important than the climate changing is the fact that it's becoming easier and easier for us to travel/gather in large groups; more human contact = more disease spread

Humans come into contace with different animal species that carry viruses that can jump species. Viruses can mutate and become more or less severe over time. Humans tend to gather in groups, especially in the winter time inside, causing a great breeding ground for viruses and bacteria.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with this as there are other factors that can contribute to the rise of viruses and pandemics for instance habitat destruction. I actually feel this might lead to more of the issue than climate change as it is what causes animals to be in close proximity to us and contributes to climate change.

Diseases spread from human to human or in many pandemic cases from animals to humans regardless of the changes of the climate. It only takes the right circumstance and a virus can spread. Changes in climate would not likely have an significant increase to these issues.

Viruses would have affected humans regardless of climate change. According to the National Academies of Science, CoV-2 doesn't appear to care what the average global temperature is. Although climate change can multiply a threat of infection, humans would have been affected regardless of the climate change.
