Climate change is pushing mammals into new territory, increasing the number of opportunities for viruses to jump from species to species — including humans. By 2070, if global temperatures continue to rise as predicted, there could be a total of 15,000 new cross-species “viral sharing events,” according to new research published today in the journal Nature.
Of the at least 10,000 virus species in mammals capable of infecting humans, most are still only circulating among animals in the wild. The worry is that more of those viruses could eventually make the leap to humans, potentially sparking a health crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Ultimately, this work provides us with more incontrovertible evidence that the coming decades will not only be hotter but sicker,” Gregory Albery, a disease ecologist at Georgetown University and co-lead author of the study, said in a call with reporters.

Science has devolved to sitting around, getting stoned, and coming up with totally awesome, or like, really probable kind of things happening.
This “theory” is utter bullshit. Just one more angle to attempt to seize greater control
“Climate Change” is the greatest financial scam in the history of the world (to date). Real science does not support much of anything in the “Climate Change” narrative. The world could take a small portion of the $150 trillion the elites want to spend on “Climate Change” and do some really good things with cleaning up the environment, advancing medicine, etc., but it would need to be done outside the auspices of “government”, which is anathema to the left.
Another daily dose of fear-porn, global-warming hysterics.
Either humanity is the product of billions of years of evolution or the design of a Creator. Either way, humanity would not exist if it was as fragile as the manmade-global-warming activists want us to believe.
Their decades of failed predictions should clue everyone in to the fact that their beloved theories are wrong.
If they can’t identify the problem correctly, they certainly can’t figure out a solution, either.
I suspect that with COVID we all would have been much better off if we had done absolutely nothing in response than making the response we did globally. That is, it should have been treated like we treat the flu every year. Likewise, any supposed tiny increase in global temperatures is the kind of change we can adapt to and go on living our lives as normal.
With libs, the cure is worse than the disease.
Well viruses aren’t coming to Georgia anytime soon as it simply refuses to warm up here this spring.
“By 2070, if global temperatures continue to rise as predicted, there could be a total of 15,000 new cross-species “viral sharing events,” according to new research published today in the journal Nature. “
I heard it would as many as 1.5 million new cross-species “viral sharing events

Surface Temperature from US Climate Reference Network:
Right; they also don’t mention that many of those “mammals” moving into new territory are unscreened Latin Americans (and anyone else looking to enter on the southern border).
It’s cold here in NJ as well but apparently we’re still seeing a “surge”.../s
A warming world means more food production and lower fuel consumption.
Will these lunatics ever stop their BULLSHIRT!
So thatâÂÂs why flu season is in the fall and winterâ¦.? Hmmmmm?
Ex-Con
So it’s a good thing all the dire predictions about global warming are lies!
Two propaganda combined will make it scarier. /s
