It would be difficult to know for sure with all the other factors.

Viruses are getting worse from NOT the climate

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree.  Due to the increase world population, I believe that animal habitat would continue to be loss, however not at the current rate.  Humans would still have an increased exposure to animals, causing disease transfer.  Climate change has increased the speed of the transfer, not the opportunity of transfer.

disagree -population size, density, animal husbandry, travel are vectors

# data[].attributes.body
disagree

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change did not CAUSE the spread of the virus

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because there are too many factors that can affect viral transmission, so stating that without climate change these pandemics would not have happened ignores the other possible factors.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because we would still encounter habitat fragmentation, bringing us closer to animals that could be carrying the virus.

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses can mutate in a variety of environments, and there isn't enough evidence to suggest that climate change is the primary factor.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because I think there are other forces that allow viruses.

# data[].attributes.body
Disagree because humans come in contact with other species so that does not depend on climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses will be here regardless of climate change.

I disagree due to COVID 19 spreading in all climates.

I disagree due to COVID 19 spreading in all climates. 

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because viruses can be transmitted between species regardless of the climate.

# data[].attributes.body
disagree with this statement because viruses can mutate without the aid of human interactions (such as our play in global climate shift) and thus are still able to infect to pandemic levels

# data[].attributes.headline
Jodi I disagree because the viruses were not created by animals or human. Viruses are favorable to certain habitats and climates.

There could be pandemics without global warming. It is a catalyst.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because viruses don't care about temperature

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because viruses have been affecting humans long before the climate change of the last 300 years.

# data[].attributes.body
Disagree, I think viruses can take preference to specific climates. However, as mutations increase, I feel that viruses will adapt and overcome in any environment. Human globalization has had an impact

# data[].attributes.body
Human activity contributes to the spread of virus (once it appears). For example, lack of response to viral disease, lack of quarantine, etc. The viruses appear and would likely make the jump regardless

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because viruses are sneaky and have the goal of "living". They need to just between species to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
Given that evolution is a chance event it would be hard to pin that the changes caused by climate change are the strongest contributor to virus evolution.

# data[].attributes.body
there has always been viruses, some are just being rediscovered in the permafrost...

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses have existed throughout the history of the planet, so to say that human activity has made it worse, would be an exagerration.

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses have been tormenting humans since the beginning of the species

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because deforestation and overpopulation are causes of climate change and also could be a cause of animal to human interactions, but both are effects; not a cause and effect

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because viruses don't care about global temperature.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change has happened many times throughout time.

Disa

# data[].attributes.body
Disagree because the rate of mutation in viruses is high and would continue without climate change.
