Many viruses not on list of diseases getting worse by global warming

# data[].attributes.headline
Although climate change is expected to worsen many kinds of disease, especially tropical illnesses carried by insects,corona viruses like the current one are not on the list.

I disagree because, the logic that the immune systems of animals is effected by global warming is weak. Additionally, the claim that humans have immune systems that are weaker due to climate change. This is cased by pollution as stated in the text. Which is pollution nor global warming.

Everyone needs to participate in staying home and social distancing to help with the spread of the virus.

I don't think the article shows any direct evidence that any pandemic creating virus came into contact with humans due to climate change. They cited examples where humans are more in contact with certain animals than in the past but I don't see a correlation to climate change.

To say Pandemics in the last 100 years would NOT have affected humans is too strong a statement. Although there is evidence that Climate Change worsens pandemics or increases frequency, it is too strong to say that humans would NOT have been affected by pandemics.

The causes of climate change, such as habitat fragmentation, have contributed to the increase in zoonotic viruses reaching outbreak status; climate change and increase in pandemics are both effects of these causes, rather than having a causal link themselves.

Creating situations where animals are close together like in farms or markets has caused situations where diseases spread throughout the animal population and then can jump to humans. This is the main cause for pandemics. Climate change can not be said as the main reason for pandemics.

Transmission is mainly due to illegal wildlife markets

" Climate change is frequently described as a threat multiplier..." Climate change undoubtedly worsens the impacts of diseases, including viral ones, but viruses would have been impacting some humans anyway.

Pandemics have been happening for centuries in times when there was no global warming. Also the current pandemic seems to have gotten worse in the US as the weather got hotter. Scientists are reporting that  the virus does not seem to be affected by heat.

This paragraph talks about how climate change is a threat multiplier, but not a direct cause of pandemics.

Pandemics have been around for a long time. Viruses don't care about temp. Connection is indirect.

I don’t agree entirely with the statement, because it is difficult to gauge what viruses would have NOT affected humans. Would these zoonotic viruses reached us regardless? And they might have affected some populations regardless, but did not have the spread that our modern world creates. Think about Old World disease affecting new world populations.

Pandemics have been occurring for thousands of years.

The virus (COVID) has not seemed to be affected by the average global temperature.

# data[].attributes.body
The transmission is usually through animal and human contact and viruses can still infect humans no matter the weather is.

Illegal hunting/trade and consumption of animals (like bats) would still occur, even without climate change, allowing the virus to spread from animal host to humans.

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.

There is no direct connection. New viruses are primarily transferred to humans via other species. This transfer is not climate dependent.

Many of the arguments presented were related to human activity but not climate change directly (for example, habitat fragmentation is usually not due to climate change); the article seems to confuse human activity and climate change

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses don't care about the weather and they would have affected humans even without climate change. The article only argues that climate change is a "threat multiplier" meaning that it makes us humans more vulnerable to being affected by viruses.

The global pandemics that have occurred in the past 100 years have not been transmitted by vector species, and so are less problematic in terms of transmission.

# data[].attributes.body
Pandemics have been occurring long before the industrial revolution and human caused climate change.

Climate change might contribute or exacerbate problems but is hardly the  primary cause of some of these pandemics.
