Climate change does not mutate viruses.

A lot of these viruses can flourish at any temperature.

Virus traveling has nothing to do with the climate

# data[].attributes.body
The article doesn't link virus mutations to past climate. Major pandemics before the last century still occurred despite climate.

# data[].attributes.body
Temperature and climate change are not the only changes that would affect viruses to mutate. Sometimes mutations are random.

# data[].attributes.body
Human activity, YES, has contributed to the spread of viruses. But how much of CLIMATE CHANGE is actually causing the spread in the LAST 100 years...?

Virus mutation has nothing to do with overpopulation.

Viruses and cells mutate and change all the time, and temperature does not have that large of an affect on the spread of diseases.

# data[].attributes.body
Far more than climate change, the ability to travel the world within hours, and exponential growth of our population have contributed to the pandemics that have affected the human population in the last 100 years.

# data[].attributes.body
we had pandemics before we started to feel the effects of climate change

The author did not cite where she got her evidence from. Would need to see data about increase in speed of viral evolution and the link between extreme weather events and outbreak of zoonotic diseases.

Viruses have always been around . It might hav

Although the text has valide inferences, there are few actual data filled studies on this theory listed in the article.

Nature and climate are constantly changing and the wheel is set in motion so no matter what advancements humans have made viruses and climate were going to be there never the less.

Disagree because the flu pandemic in 1918 happened before we have problems with climate change.

Human activity is more to blame for the likelihood of pandemics than climate change directly

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the article said something about temperature not affecting viruses too much?

# data[].attributes.body
overpopulation would cause proximity to wild animals and food scarcity creating increased human/animal contact

~ These viruses would exist with or without climate change. Climate change my have accelerated contraction, however, it would have affected humans regardless!

# data[].attributes.body
Planet Earth and the climate are always
evolving.

# data[].attributes.body
There were pandemics before climate change and Spanish Flu was before significant climate change. Also, viruses and bacteria are going to evolve in any "climate".

# data[].attributes.body
Most viruses infecting humans were due to human globalization and food activity, rather than changing climate.

# data[].attributes.body
Animals would still carry viruses with or without human interference.

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses have been around forever. Humans come in contact with remote animal populations through migration and exploration, without climate change.

The central statement is stating that pandemics would not have affected humans at all. Even though the article supports the fact that climate change may impact pandemics, it does not mean that viruses would not impact humans at all. Climate change may just exaggerate or accelerate the problem and without, the problem may still exist but at a smaller level. According to the article, "climate change compounds the problem".

# data[].attributes.body
Regardless of climate change, viruses still have the ability to mutate and affect humans negatively. Plus, with how large our human population has gotten, it is no wonder these viruses spread.

# data[].attributes.headline
Viruses will evolve  regardless of climate change and based on history have always affected humans.  As human population increases the viruses can spread more quickly and have a more devastating effect.

There are several compounding factors when looking at zoonotic diseases in the last 100 years. Climate change cannot be the sole cause.

Viral evolution is a natural process over a long period of time and cycles naturally. It is a natural method of population control to limit carrying capacities.

These viruses have been around. We would have gotten the virus one way or another.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that viruses would still eventually affect humans because they constantly evolve, as do all things on Earth.

Disagree. Viruses have been around as long as animals. The text states that measles came from cows in 300? not sure on the exacts. How did climate play a part.

Viruses will evolve regardless of climate change. They mutate to find a host and that includes humans. It doesn't matter what is going on in the world. They are opportunistic and will take a host regardless of climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
The massive spread of viruses has happening before climate issues existed.  It doesn't stop the spread but it also doesn't cause the spread in the first place.  I would say that human activity in general has more effect.

# data[].attributes.body
planes, trains, and automobiles make it easy for viruses to spread, causing pandemics.

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses have existed long before climate change (Black Plague, etc).  In the text, it stated that climate change doesn’t help, but doesn’t necessarily cause the viruses.  It is more a function of population and pushing into new areas.  These would exist with or without climate change.

Viruses may move slower without as much human impact, yet movement will still happen.
