Viruses have always been around and are migrating.

Increased connectedness between humans has caused greater disease outbreaks, not climate change.

“Although I know climate change has been brought upon by human activity, I am not sure for certain  if the virus over the past 100 years may have affected this at a larger degree.

viruses will always be around

Disagree because many of the viruses do not benefit from the climate change to warmer temperatures.

The mutation of viruses is a part of science that would evolve no matter the climate.

# data[].attributes.body
We can't really prove that this happened in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the scientific & government communities have to provided more evidence.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change did not cause humans to come in contact with the wild animals that spread the viruses like COVID-19. If you leave the animals alone, less viruses will be spread.

Virus transmission is caused by lack of proper hygiene and sanitary conditions.

Virus can be harmful despite time and environment.

If we left animals alone (illegal wildlife trade, poaching, illegal markets), we would not have a lot of the diseases.

# data[].attributes.body
according to the article, viruses are not affected directly by climate.

Destruction of habitat has caused animals to migrate to human populated areas.

Human populations were impacted by plagues prior to CC and IR. It would've happened anyway.

Human negative behavior toward science will continue to bring harm to the human race.

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses require a host and humans inhabit much of this planet. At some point, viral infection would affect humans

# data[].attributes.body
Not enough empirical evidence to support this claim

# data[].attributes.body
The chain of events linking climate change with disease outbreaks is too long. It is not directly connected.

# data[].attributes.headline
Since disease has been around for as long as we have history we know that viruses are not new.

I disagree because people have been intentionally eating animals and getting diseases from them for more than 100 years

virus live within a certain range of temperature;  with climate change, environments change; when environments change, the ecosystems change and some organisms thrive while others will flail.

Climate change is not the cause for higher animal-human interactions; the problem is overpopulation causing food shortages.

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses would be affecting humans anyway, so by the letter of the law climate change is only amplifying it rather than causing it in the first place

# data[].attributes.body
Climate changes even without human input, so viruses would still cross from animals to humans.

Since a virus is nonliving, thermoregulation would not effect the virus and its ability to transimit through a variety of climates.

the world has always had to deal with viruses or plagues throughout history, the only thing that has changed in the time is the population.

Climate does not alter the spread or the appearance of Covid-19

Humans have caused climate change by deforestation.

I slightly disagree. Though observational evidence indicates a relationship, it is incredibly difficult to create a causal relationship between the two. There may be a relationship, there may not. There’s too many other variables involved.

# data[].attributes.body
Although there is a connection between high temperature and mutation of viruses, there is no proof of any direct causes

# data[].attributes.body
Historically there has been pandemics that have affected the human population .

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change does not have as much of an effect as the ability to move so easily around the globe.

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses do not care what the temperature is, so climate change does not directly affect viruses.

Things like the flu, and the black plague, were wiping out people globally long before the past 100 years.
