Viral mutation is a guarantee as long as there is a virus to mutate. In fact, cellular mutation is the basis of evolution which is something that has happened since the original first single celled organism.]]> 2020-06-17 15:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/u0dolbjhwgbpzkc9/wish/630717895 https://padlet.com/avidscience1/u0dolbjhwgbpzkc9/wish/630717922 There have been many significant pandemics that occurred before the industrial revolution and anthropogenic climate change. I think the severity of modern pandemics is amplified by the ease of travel and population density in urban areas that was not present in the past.

When a virus native to an animal species mutates and comes in contact with humans, we are unable to fight it. This process does not have anything to do with climate change. ]]> 2020-06-17 15:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/u0dolbjhwgbpzkc9/wish/630719123 Contact without movement https://padlet.com/avidscience1/u0dolbjhwgbpzkc9/wish/630719394 I think that we as humans might have contracted these viruses without movement as well through our consumption of food and water which had contact with virus carriers. ]]> 2020-06-17 15:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/u0dolbjhwgbpzkc9/wish/630719394 I disagree most the pandemics caused by viruses were not the cause of climate change. Pandemics have happened without climate change. Although climate change did not cause pandemics it might have exacerbate the problem. https://padlet.com/avidscience1/u0dolbjhwgbpzkc9/wish/630719484 2020-06-17 15:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/u0dolbjhwgbpzkc9/wish/630719484 R https://padlet.com/avidscience1/u0dolbjhwgbpzkc9/wish/630719530 I disagree because there are many factors to consider and there is no strong evidence that changing climate brought by human activity caused viral pandemics. Other factors such as lack of hygiene or ingesting toxic chemicals could also cause these.
