Scientists have warned that ancient 'zombie viruses' trapped in permafrost in Siberia may soon be released and cause a new deadly pandemic as shipping in the region increases.
Scientists have known for years that 'Methuselah microbes', cells that have stayed dormant in permafrost for tens of thousands of years, carry the risk of propagating and spreading like wildfire if taken out of their icy confines.
But they have begun to warn that with 2023 being the warmest year on record - by a long way - since global records began in 1850, the risk of a deadly pandemic caused by zombie viruses is higher than ever, as more and more permafrost, which covers a quarter of the northern hemisphere, is melting.
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) reports that the Arctic's average temperature has already risen at a rate three times higher than the global average, and is the region with the highest rate of average temperature change.
Jean-Michel Claverie, a geneticist at Aix-Marseille University in the south of France, told the Observer: 'The crucial point about permafrost is that it is cold, dark and lacks oxygen, which is perfect for preserving biological material.

“Disease X”
Wow! they were able to fit the threat of a pandemic AND Globull Warming into one "sky is falling" scare headline!
I'm sure Comrade (Dr) Fow-Chi and his Wuhan Buddies are already working to make this reality.
Global Warming causes pandemics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I have some of that “warming climate” today please?
Lol.
Given Siberia’s proximity to China, as long as the zombie virus takes them out first, I’m good. :)
And for all we know 1849 was even hotter!!
They’ve stooped to “D” movie level garbage now.
In World War Z, the zombie virus, usually called African Rabies, started in China...
Doom Porn based on nothing scientific. Bacteria and viruses are evolving and/or pouring out of cold storage all the time throughout history.
Ice paks.....STAT!
Or not.
Just as likely the new virus will come from the alien space craft docked in Antarctica.
The climate could ‘release?’ How about just plain ole China-manufactured US sponsored accidental lab release? No need to wait for the climate to act.

Ya hear that? BY A LONG WAY!!!!! Oh the horror!
how warm was it when miles thick glaciers melted en mass?
What scientists? Another bastard writer who lives off of clicks.
What scientists? Another bastard writer who lives off of clicks. I didn’t waste my time reading the whole article, but I doubt he even referenced who “Tha Scientists” are, and what basis they have for making a claim..
God help us. This is beyond ridiculous.
OMG. Is that really Philly? I thought it was someplace in africa or south america. Beyond sad.
