July 28 Room 2 DigitalXP: Ch. 9 Philosophical Chairs Disagree Central Statement by AVID Science https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo "Without the climate change brought on by human activity, many of the viruses that have caused pandemics in the last 100 years would not have affected humans." en-us 2020-07-10 20:51:34 UTC 2020-08-05 18:31:56 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f44e.png Overpopulation Would Lead to Zoonotic Spread https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665996038 I somewhat disagree with the statement.  Zoonotic diseases would have eventually reached humans as our exponential population growth continues to explore without a sense of reaching a carrying capacity.   Eventually multiple species would come into contact allowing for zoonotic diseases to spread.]]> 2020-07-30 17:01:22 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665996038 https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665996113 I don’t agree with this statement because it cannot be proven true.  Viruses evolve no matter what and there would likely be ones that affect humans regardless of human activity.  Human activity and climate change may have contributed to this happening more frequently or perhaps faster but you cannot say that it wouldn’t have happened without anthropogenic impacts.]]> 2020-07-30 17:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665996113 Climate change happens regardless of the presence of humans.Pandemics happen, viruses happen. They are exacerbated by human intervention and their spread vector is higher, but they would still potentially happen.People interact with animals, that is what we do.My issue is with the wording. Climate change alters the rate of spread, not necessarily whether the spread would occur. ggonzalez88 https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665996390 2020-07-30 17:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665996390 I don't have enough data to go either way but i wonder if there is any data to show that there is a correlation between temperature and adverse diseases to humans. also considering the 4.6 billion age of earth and 2.5 billion age of organisms I wonder what the temperature to life correctional is as earth has been much hotter and much too cold to support any life at all for most of that time. https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665996443 2020-07-30 17:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665996443 The statement is too absolute and doesn't allow for varying "degrees" of impact to humans. https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665996795 I disagree.  While the severity of the current (and past) pandemic(s) has been exacerbated by climate change, they would still have impacted humans.  The statement (as posed) is absolute in saying that “many would not have …”; however, it is clear from the text, which cites diseases like measles from the 3rd century AD, that pandemics are often part of living in a world with viruses.]]> 2020-07-30 17:02:34 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665996795 I disagree with the statement. https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997077 I think the issue lies more with population growth. If anything climate change may reduce pandemics because if resources are becoming scarce, population growth will slow down. Climate change is a way how the Earth righting itself. ]]> 2020-07-30 17:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997077 I disagree. Climate change does not affect the presence of viruses and their impact on humans. https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997160 2020-07-30 17:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997160 gtreece https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997177 I somewhat disagree because some of the areas affected by the pandemics did not have  climate change issues.  ]]> 2020-07-30 17:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997177 https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997229 I disagree. Climate change has, and will continue to have, serious consequences for people, but I don't believe that viral pandemics can be included.
Spillovers from animals to humans has more to do with habitat destruction. ]]> 2020-07-30 17:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997229 https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997268 I disagree because these viruses were first found in animals. From the text, it states that climate change had little to no effect on the virus being spread. ]]> 2020-07-30 17:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997268 I disagree. https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997297 Climate change does not affect pandemics and virus exposure.  

]]> 2020-07-30 17:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997297 I disagree as virus are present and replicate in a variety of temperatures. Changes in climate means changes in virus populations regardless. https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997473 2020-07-30 17:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997473 https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997524 More research would be needed to link climate change with pandemics. From the article, it is only speculation without data. Although the explanation of linking climate change to pandemics is a plausible one, data/research would be needed to show the correlation.]]> 2020-07-30 17:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997524 I disagree as there have been viral outbreaks for quite some time in earths history. I think pandemic outbreak rates are more directly linked to the population size and density. An example would be lime disease in deer, or the fungal zombie spore disease in ants, which only spreads when the population reaches a particular size and density. https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997614 2020-07-30 17:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997614 Although the activities that humans partake in have increased the risk of viruses spreading to humans, it is hard to say that these viruses would not have affected humans if global climate change wasn’t happening. Global climate change affects everything on Earth including viruses, but to say these viruses would not have affected humans without climate change seems to be a little off base. https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997759 2020-07-30 17:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665997759 They Exist No Matter What https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665998184 2020-07-30 17:04:34 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665998184 https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665998466 2020-07-30 17:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/665998466 I somewhat disagree. I believe it is an increasing factor but not single causing factor. https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/666004268 2020-07-30 17:12:58 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/alx7w2z2i10mtlgo/wish/666004268
