*Cur**rent Crises: Coronavirus & Climate Change*
Posted on 28 February 2020 by Guest Author
The world jumps into action to deal with pandemics like the Coronavirus 
outbreak. But why don't we respond in the same way for climate change? 
And are there any parallels behind the pandemic?

*Coronavirus Effect on Global Warming and Global Warming Impact on 
Pandemic Risks: Part 1 of 3*
Feb 28, 2020
Paul Beckwith
The Coronavirus has shuttered about 25% of Chinese industrial production 
for weeks on end. Since Chinese production and industrial activity 
accounts for about 1/4 of global production, 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16 or about 
6% of global production has been halted. Thus, my back of the envelope 
best guess has global CO2 emissions down about 6%, and globally produced 
aerosols down about 6% as well. Since global dimming from aerosols is 
thought to be between 0.25 to 1.1 C, if we take the 1 C number as an 
upper limit, then the Coronavirus has resulted in global warming of 
about 0.06 C; with regional warming over China of about 0.25 C.

*Coronavirus and Climate Change: Intimate Connections: Part 2 of 3*
Feb 28, 2020
It is well known that as our planet rapidly warms, there are more 
disease vectors that affect human health. Diseases such as Zika Virus, 
West Nile Disease, Ebola, Malaria, etc. propagate faster and more 
severely in warmer regions. Looking at history, when Europeans went to 
warmer lands of long established civilizations (Incas, Aztecs, and 
Mayans) it was their diseases that wiped out these Indigenous 
populations. Immune systems of higher latitude nations (Europeans) were 
stronger than those of people in lower latitude regions, the latter had 
no immunity to diseases the invaders inadvertently brought in.

*Habitat Stress Forcing Poleward Animal Migration Increases Risk of New 
Virus Generation: Part 3 of 3*
Paul Beckwith
It is thought that the coronavirus originated in Wuhan's wild animal 
market, perhaps moving first from bats to a small mammal and then to 
humans. We know that as the globe rapidly warms, many animal species are 
forced to migrate towards the poles in search of more optimal habitats 
as their existing regions become too warm and dry to continue to sustain 
them. This migration causes these animals to interact more with other 
species, and become more stressed, weakening their immune systems and 
increasing the probability of them becoming virus carriers and propagators.

[Digging back into the internet news archive]
*On this day in the history of global warming  - February 28, 2010*
On MSNBC's "Countdown," fill-in host Sam Seder and conservation 
biologist Dr. Reese Halter debunk the most recent effort by the Fox News 
Channel to promote the idea that snowstorms disprove human-caused 
climate change.
