I agree.  Human populations are increasingly encroaching on wildlife habitats where dormant viruses have remained undisturbed.  These viruses are also endemic to wild animal populations, yet novel for humans - who have no exposure and thus no developed immunity to them.

Habitat fragmentation has contibuted to climate cange and increased  the human contact with animals which increases the changes of  spreading the virus.

It is agreed that scientists have clarified the connection and affect of climate change on virus production and spread among mammals, especially humans. One example stated, expressed "higher temperatures
will lead to increasing concentrations of
allergens, ozone and small particles that
irritate the lungs."

Overpopulation increase the risk of viral infection. Domestication of wildlife, black market, etc...

Altering the planet at a faster rate through climate change increases the chances for viruses to evolve, which means they would be more likely to transmit from animal hosts to humans.

As human populations increase, we invade environments and ultimately change them.

# data[].attributes.body
The article talks about altering the environment at a faster rate, such as deforestation and habitat fragmentation which ultimately causes climate changes and leads to more human and animal interactions

Destruction of natural habitats can increase the likelihood of a viral outbreak

We have brought this on ourselves, needing more food, energy and resources.  This environment has allowed viruses to thrive.

We also have been encroaching in on wildlife so humans are having more contact with animals with the potential to spread disease to us.

I agree, though the extent of its effect on pandemics is hard to say. We know that climate change effects viruses and makes it harder for society to overcome pandemics. I would like to see data about the correlation, though.

I would have affect humans and which facet or facets of climate change defined. I wouldn't want to make too many assumptions about how those terms are used in this context. I can't wait to investigate this with my students.

I agree with the statement that the climate change brought on by human activity is the cause of pandemics in the last 100 years, I feel that it is human greed and the lack of respect for nature and other species that have done so.

# data[].attributes.body
-The article states that habitat fragmentation and the increase in human and animal interaction causes more zoonotic viruses to spread.  The population has exponentially increased in the past 100 years.

-Many of these diseases may have stayed as isolated diseases rather than pandemics had climate change no exacerbated them

# data[].attributes.headline
As population increase they move to new areas which increases contact with new species thus increasing the possibility.

I agree with the central statement. The text gives an example where floods and other extreme weather have affected zoological diseases. “Studies have linked outbreaks of

several zoonotic diseases to extreme weather

events such as droughts and floods that are

expected to become more common as the

planet warms” (pg. 2).

Change of habitats and ozone levels can change a lot of interactions not to mention people eat or encroaching on species and habitats that were not touched before

-Changes in species distribution due to climate change.-Host (carriers of viruses) can come into contract with alternate host.- More frequent natural disaster.-More vulnerable populations due to  poor sanitation, food scarcity, water, etc. more susceptible.

Climate change=animal migration=more human to animal contact

Climate change has acted as a facilitator in some ways for certain diseases to become pandemic, but I am not convinced climate change is a root cause or a strong driving force.

“The shortage of places where animals can live brings them into increasing contact with one another.” (pg 2, clmn 1, para 3)

“[Climate Change] shrinks some animal populations, depriving them of the diversity needed to control disease.” (pg 2, clmn 1, para 5)

“... higher temperatures will lead to increasing concentrations of allergens, ozone, and small particles that irritate the lungs.” (pg 2, clmn 2, para 3) causing those sick with viruses to be less able to fight them off.

Counter argument: there appears to be no direct correlation between COVID-19 spread and variations in heat/humidity

# data[].attributes.body
I strongly agree with the statement because many viruses that have caused pandemics come from interactions between different species. Climate change causes human and other species to interact more often because of displacement or lack of resources in an area. As temperatures increase, it causes more areas to have species such as mosquitoes that can spread viruses at a higher rate

# data[].attributes.body
I agree but not strongly. The destruction of habitat has caused humans and animals to interact more which has increased the change of zoonoses. However, I also believe it is the way we are now able to travel globally which has a great affect on how any virus spreads. (Your should play the video game Pandemic.)

# data[].attributes.headline
I somewhat agree, I think that there are a lot of ways human impact on earth has contributed to the spread of viruses, such as the displacement of people from natural disasters and habitat destruction. However, I do not believe that without human activity that pandemics would not exist.

I agree, but not strongly. There are lots of examples of climate change and associated virus (Ebola, SARS, HIV, etc.), but viruses have always existed. I believe it is a bit more complicated than just climate change, but also has to do with human overpopulation and encroachment into rural/areas; therefore, more interactions with different species.

Climate change can result in deforestation or higher temperatures that can damage the animal population. If there is no land, animals begin to approach human land, exposing humans to more viruses

# data[].attributes.body
climate change caused by people destroying habitats which caused them to have more contact with organisms increased the chances of contracting the “zoonoses.

Over-use of land, and adding manmade objects like chemicals, oil, gas, and plastics have made our world sick and animals and humans are less able to fight viruses.
