<b>How the Climate Crisis Is Making the Spread of Infectious
Diseases Like Coronavirus More Common</b><br>
Feb 27, 2020<br>
Democracy Now!<br>
Sonia Shah is an investigative science journalist and author of
"Pandemic: Tracking Contagions, from Cholera to Ebola and Beyond."
Her new book is titled "The Next Great Migration: The Beauty and
Terror of Life on the Move" and will be published in June. She says
the climate crisis is making outbreaks of infectious diseases more
common, with the destruction of natural animal habitats and the
changes in migration bringing humans and animals into ever-closer
contact and making new pathogens more likely. Her latest article,
published in The Nation, is titled "Think Exotic Animals Are to
Blame for the Coronavirus? Think Again."<br>

<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>

[Climate shrink Dr Renee Lertzman video talk]<br>
<b>How to Turn Climate Anxiety into Action </b><br>
It's normal to feel anxious or overwhelmed by climate change, says
psychologist Renee Lertzman. Can we turn those feelings into
something productive? In an affirming talk, Lertzman discusses the
emotional effects of climate change and offers insights on how
psychology can help us discover both the creativity and resilience
needed to act on environmental issues.<br>
<br>
This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was
featured by our editors on the home page.<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>
