Scientists have unearthed the remnants of more than 1,700 viruses from deep inside a glacier in western China. Most of these viruses are new to science.
With this discovery, the number of ancient viruses recovered from glaciers has grown fiftyfold.The viruses, gathered from a 1,000-foot ice core taken from the sprawling Guliya Glacier on the Tibetan Plateau, date back 41,000 years and span three major shifts from cold to warm.
Scientists say the viruses differed markedly between colder and warmer eras, noting that a distinct community of viruses formed during the most dramatic of these climatic shifts, at the end of the last ice age some 11,500 years ago. “This at least indicates the potential connection between viruses and climate change,” said ZhiPing Zhong of Ohio State University, lead author on the research.
"While researchers have warned that some dormant viruses now being liberated from melting glaciers could potentially infect humans, the viruses unearthed from the Guliya glacier pose no risk, study authors said"

Well now the election is definitely cancelled!
Just in time for elections!
Pretty good horror movie:
“A research expedition to the Arctic discovers that a melting polar ice cap has released a deadly prehistoric parasite.”

I saw this movie...
No doubt, Fuchi is panting with anticipation..
Yup everybody stay home until at least November 6th.
Turn over any rock and you will find 1700 new viruses. They are everywhere and extremely varied. This is one of the more stupid propaganda efforts from the doom porn nerds.
Wow, that's fantastic!! They've discovered that viruses cause climate change!!
Mankind is finally off the hook!!
Covid 1-18?
The doom virus that will eventually stalk the world with Death’s scythe is currently hiding in the anus of some LGBTQ degenerates. Maybe our scientists should stick their heads in those holes and look?
Step 2: Weaponize newly discovered ancient viruses.
Step 3: Accidental lab leak of weaponized virus giving new world order fascists excuse to implement lockdowns and disarmament of formerly free citizens. End Result: Mayhem and civil war
That right there makes it fake news.Everyone knows that man was not using fossil fuels to cause climate change back then. /s
“While researchers have warned that some dormant viruses now being liberated from melting glaciers could potentially infect humans, the viruses unearthed from the Guliya glacier pose no risk, study authors said.”
I have found that virologists often lack the ability to accurately gauge risk. In this case though they may be right. The abstract of the article indicates that the viruses they are analyzing infect bacteria.
Sounds like the Neanderthals were engaged in Gain-of-function research. I’ll bet of them had a last name of Fauci.
Gentlemen, start your engines!!

ANYTHING FAUCI CAN DO-—THEY CAN DO BETTER———
Oh, I smell a Fauci-tunity for significant biological augmented research for splicing and dicing some DNA.
