"Most of the pandemics of the past 100 years —
indeed, most of the diseases that humans can
have — were caused by 'zoonoses' or germs
that come from other animals."
Most of the viruses humans experience (zoonoses) originate from human contact with animals, their populations, or their environments. It doesn't seem specific enough to say climate change is the cause, rather aspects of climate change may be the cause such as deforestation and farm development.

A virus or disease can be in different people.  Some manifest symptoms, and some do not manifest symptoms. The climate does not appear to have an affect.

Climate change threat multiplier, something that exacerbates existing problems and creates new ones. No aspect of life on this planet has been untouched by climate change — viruses included.

I disagree, any virus does not care about whether it is hot or cold, if there is a flood or drought.   I think that pollution had made a drastic change to our environment that it causes the change in our air and life has adapted in a negative way bringing on these viruses.

"The world is rife with viruses; at least 320,000 kinds are known to infect mammals alone. And these pathogens rarely stick within one species." Due to our overpopulation and frequent interactions with different species, these viruses would have affected humans regardless of climate change.

Page 2: Maybe the pandemics in the last 100 years can simply be traced back to the polluted environments where people live?

Climate change can directly impact the spread of some diseases but COVID is not one of them. If their is not a temperature aspect to the disease (i.e. it spreads faster or easier in warm versus cold temperatures) climate change does not impact the spread directly.
