Our ability as a species to travel and the ease at which we are able to travel has lead to the spread of viruses from what were once isolated areas to more populated areas. This has been the main reason for the high rates of disease transmission and spread of viruses, not global climate change.

There is no evidence to support causation

The article states that increased human interactions with animals leads to zoonotic exchange. Climate change can increase this but the past 100 years isn't tied to climate change.

warming climate doesnt necessarily mean more contact with animals and therefore more viruses.

# data[].attributes.body
While climate change has caused warming and has changed where animals have lived. There have been many viruses in the past caused from animals based on how humans have structured society. We have always had animals in close proximity, which cause viruses. Dually, pathogens have found a way to spread through every civilization and with increased population size comes an increased variance for pathogens to produce and be spread through populations.

the virus seems to care more about the internal environment of the human species, rather than the outside climate.

"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."

I disagree because there is no concrete evidence to show that humans would not have still been exposed to viruses that led to world pandemics from everyday human contact and not climate change.

During this current pandemic, Covid continues to spread regardless of the temperatures outside or the conditions of an environment.

Not enough evidence to support the correlation between the two.

I disagree. Climate change is something that has happened throughout Earth’s history. These viruses just mutate regardless of the human activity.

I disagree because there's not concrete evidence to support that viruses, such as COVID-19, are caused by climate change. However, according to the text, temperature, high heat or humidity, may worsen the symptoms or recovery.

I disagree because there is no concrete evidence to prove that humans would not have been affected by pandemics in the absence of climate change. It could be because of an increase in pollution or fossil fuels, not specifically climate change.

The spread of pandemics is

# data[].attributes.body
The article said that people in high pollution areas had worse outcomes with Covid-19, and that pollution levels were getting worse. However, pollution levels getting worse is a cause of climate change, not a result of climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because human activity regardless of climate change has increased the transmission of viruses. It is unclear whether climate change is correlation or causation of pandemics.

# data[].attributes.body
Diseases such as Polio and the Bubonic plaque were pandemics before we documented global temperature increases. Diseases spread rapidly due to high population density, both intra and inter specific.

# data[].attributes.body
The majority of the pandemics caused in the past 100 years are from diseases jumped from animals to humans. I have not seen any evidence that shows that they would not have occurred if the average global temperature did not change.

COVID-19 has had an effect on everyone regardless of the temperature of where they live.
