This seems like a big stretch.

Therefore, the instability that leads to population influx of a displaced group of peoples, therefore putting them at risk of diseases that they do not have an immunity to, seems to be rooting in something OTHER than climate change. However, moving forward, it is very possible that climate change will be causily related to those kinds of instabilities. https://padlet.com/avidscience1/ujyl8tk142w3knq6/wish/670379165 2020-08-05 17:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/avidscience1/ujyl8tk142w3knq6/wish/670379165 Ancient History https://padlet.com/avidscience1/ujyl8tk142w3knq6/wish/670379325 Pandemics have been been happening since times of ancient Greece.
