It's a virus and is not affected by the climate

# data[].attributes.body
Virus needs a living
host to inject its DNA/RNA

# data[].attributes.body
pandemics have been around for centuries

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change do not affect viruses directly

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change can affect different species in different ways

# data[].attributes.body
A virus can rapidly replicate when temperatures are consistent. The virus can evolve based on human travel or when they attach to their host.

# data[].attributes.body
Species interactions, which contribute to the spread and mutation of virus, may occur as a result of migration unrelated to climate change. Increasing populations cause humans to constantly spread to unpopulated areas, similar to a virus themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
To say that these would have not been infected would be an overstatement. There has been an evolutionary war going on between organisms long before industrialization and anthorpogenic impact on the atmosphere. Some are actually proposing that viruses may even precede bacteria.

# data[].attributes.body
Deadly viral disease were very common before vaccinations

# data[].attributes.body
Not all climate change is caused by human activity. So you can not blame pandemics on humans.

# data[].attributes.body
Zoonotic viruses are spread through animal - animal, or animal-human contact. In the past 100 years agriculture has boomed and allowed animals and humans to interact more and more and usually in less sanitary environments. This increases the likelihood of transfer and the potential for a pandemic. Lookin' at you wet markets!

The Earth causes the climate change more than humans

# data[].attributes.body
The process of evolution doesn't change. Climate Change would is just a part of  the process. It's natural.

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses don't appear to care what the average global temperature is.

# data[].attributes.body
So many of our worst pandemics have been transmitted from other animals to humans.

# data[].attributes.body
temperatures do not affect the transmission of viruses. The article is trying to hijack the attention the virus is getting to bring more attention to climate change but the title of the article is misleading and ends up having the opposite effect by minimizing the legitimacy of the cause.

# data[].attributes.body
The evidence presented in the article does not show a direct one-to-one correlated relationship

# data[].attributes.body
There is not enough specific research that links climate change to the spread of viruses.

# data[].attributes.body
They were caused by human/animal interactions of which climate was likely not a driving factor.

# data[].attributes.body
temperatures would still change even if it wasn't for humans

# data[].attributes.body
An increase in global temperatures does not directly contribute to the production of zoonotic viruses and historically humans have lead to the culture of viruses and human infections via wet markets where there are many varieties of animals exposed to one another, then being slaughtered on site and distributed to humans for consumption.

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses are evolving no matter what the climate. Based on the human activity of medicine, continual building, etc we are changing the enrironment physically.

# data[].attributes.body
Many viruses are caused by other factors than climate change

# data[].attributes.body
These viruses may still have affected humans even if not causing full pandemics.

# data[].attributes.body
There have been no robust studies that directly relate climate change to increases in pandemics.

# data[].attributes.body
Correlation doesn't equal causation. The same factors that affect climate change affect pandemics.

# data[].attributes.body
The virus itself is not changed by minor temperature changes

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses replicate and spread because of interactions, regardless of average global temperature.

# data[].attributes.body
If we stayed the same temperature, there would still be other viruses that like that temperature

# data[].attributes.body
There are MANY factors that affect viruses. Climate change could play a negligible role but would not affect anything greatly.

Disagree  A pandemic  is a disease that affects a large number of people within a community, population, or region, that’s spread over multiple countries or continents.   So no matter what it affects humans.

Pandemics have historically affected humans--even before the Industrial Revolution which arguably was the beginning of climate change.
