<b>Cur</b><b>rent Crises: Coronavirus & Climate Change</b><br>
Posted on 28 February 2020 by Guest Author<br>
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?<br>

<b>Coronavirus Effect on Global Warming and Global Warming Impact on
Pandemic Risks: Part 1 of 3</b><br>
Feb 28, 2020<br>
Paul Beckwith<br>
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. <br>

<b>Coronavirus and Climate Change: Intimate Connections: Part 2 of 3</b><br>
Feb 28, 2020<br>
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. <br>

<b>Habitat Stress Forcing Poleward Animal Migration Increases Risk
of New Virus Generation: Part 3 of 3</b><br>
Paul Beckwith<br>
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.<br>

On MSNBC's "Countdown," fill-in host Sam Seder and conservation

human-caused climate change.<br>
