So far there is no evidence that the spread of COVID-19 is related to differences in climate around the world.

The virus doesn’t appear to care what the
average global temperature is; indeed, a
National Academies of Sciences panel last
week cautioned that changes in heat and
humidity may not affect how covid-19 spreads.

The fact that global climates are changing in of itself does not mean that those changes are related to global pandemics , especially since the article is not focused on how inequality is intertwined with human-cause climate change.

Per the article, the reason for diseases is ¨not really¨ caused by climate change but more by the interactions of individuals who are illegally dealing in the transfer or movement of organisms (i.e. bats and pangolin).  So it sounds more like greed than climate change.

Climate change is not the ONLY reason that these viruses afftected humans - the entire human-to-animal interaction system is complex and involves much more than only those concerns created by climate change and its effects. Also, "would not have affected humans" is a little vague - we don't necessarily have to contract a virus in order for its existence in animals to effect us

Human and animals have been living in close contact for more than 100 years and have been spreading diseases to each other. It has nothing to do with climate change.

Pandemics have historically happened around every hundred  years for eons. They happen because humans and animals are living in close proximity to each other and viruses mutate and jump species

It would have affected humans but not in the way COVID (for example) has.  The spread is exacerbated by ease of travel between countries, increase in population in urban areas.  These aren't necessarily climate related, although these also affect climate.
