The number of ways in which climate change is predicted to affect human life and vitality continues to increase.

Climate change is likely to increase the number of viral transmissions across species, posing further risk to other animals and humans, according to a study published in Nature.

Scientists now believe that global warming will significantly increase the number of viral transmissions across species in the coming decades, therefore posing further risk to other animals and humans of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, according to a study published inAs the global temperatures continue to rise, many animal species will likely migrate to new environments, taking their parasites and pathogens with them and facilitating viral sharing between species that previously had no...

The researchers suggest at least 15,000 new cross-species viral transmissions are forecast to happen by 2070, driven by climate change of 2-degrees Celsius, which is the worst-case scenario highlighted under the Paris Agreement.In this Dec. 2, 2019, file photo, a rat runs across a sidewalk in New York.

While novel encounters between mammal species are expected to occur everywhere in the world, they are especially expected to take place in tropical regions home to most of the infectious diseases capable of the zoonotic spillover transmission, such as regions of tropical Africa and southeast Asia that have a high population density of humans as well.

Climate-driven shifts in hotspots for species dispersal and viral evolution may already be happening, given that warming is already well underway, the authors wrote.In this Nov. 7, 2018, file photo, a female mule deer and her fawn graze on grass in Zion National Park, Utah.

A long story about things already happening 😕 Malaria is a known one, but it can become worse now more species are mixing.

want to see me without a bra?

Let's welcome the warmth we used to have back again!

Don't forget the Killer Bees !

Based on recent events good chance humans won't be around ...

Yeah, just like how Covid-19 came from a bat and not a lab, right? Continue gaslighting

Is it feasible to eliminate all bats?

Bit slow picking that one up guys...

Translation: at least 13,000 new cross-species viral transmissions have happened since 1970.

Cute to assume we'll make it that far as a species ourselves.

Goddamnit

So does Gain of Function Research like Fauci financed in Wuhan

“Predicted” long way to follow the science from here.

More forests are cleared for agriculture and loss of wild animal habitat that can potentially infect livestock.

Climate change may increase risk of new infectious diseasesClimate change will result in thousands of new viruses spread among animal species by 2070 — and it's likely to increase the risk of emerging infectious diseases jumping from animals to humans, especially in Africa and Asia, according to a new study. Y'all know the world is 4.5 billion years old give or take a few million years. Does anybody want to guess how many years climate change has been going on. The world has been warming since the last ice age. More lies Convenient
