Human-caused climate change "may have played a key role" in the coronavirus pandemic. That's the conclusion of a new study which examined how changes in climate have transformed the forests of Southeast Asia, resulting in an explosion of bat species in the region. The researchers found that, due to changes in vegetation over the past 100 years, an additional 40 species of bat have moved into the region, carrying with them 100 more types of bat-borne coronaviruses. Bats are known carriers of coronaviruses, with various species carrying thousands of different types. Many scientists believe the virus that started the worldwide

We will probably find out sometime in the future, after the Democrats throw billions of dollars at this assumption with all the usual under the table covert kickbacks, that this is all Chinese Communist propaganda.

Dont forget gender bigotry, chauvinism and white privilege and “being Republican” played major roles in causing imminent impending immense danger to the “good folk.”

Climate change? Really? Is that indoor climate change? Cause being outside doesn't appear to spread the virus. Notice that in the summer the number of cases decreased, and increased when the weather got colder and people went inside. I'd really like to find out how they're going to spin this lie, but if they really think most people are that stupid, then I'll pass.

Man, that "Climate Change" is one helluva concept. Needs to be capitalized since it is so important.
Seems that there's nothing it can't explain, and no natural event that it didn't cause.

“Human-Caused” is the operative word here. Of course there would not have been any dire consequences from naturally occurring climate change which has occurred repeatedly over hundreds of thousands of years. Yes, get rid of those human or at least control them with draconian governments.

Well...seeing as we have experienced all four seasons now and covid was present everywhere, which "climate" on which continent, was hit harder than others or not at all? I think inept leaders in corrupt governments "may have played a key role" in the pandemic.
Who decides when the climate is finally the climate we should have?

First of all, even if "Climate Change" was a real thing, it would be dwarfed by the real Climate variations the Earth experiences.
Is the climate trend warming? Yes.
Can mankind do anything about it?
No. Anything we might do wouldn't even show up on a graph of the real climate fluctuations. The Earth has been so cold, that standing on the edges of the Northern Hemisphere's Glaciers, you could see the Southern Hemisphere's Glaciers, the other side of the equator.
And it been so warm, several times in Earth's past, that there was no ice at either the North or South poles.
Its all political posturing to grab the most control over the largest number of people and the resour es they need to live. It all about selfish Power.

I knew that this was coming sooner or later. Everything bad is caused by climate change. Everything.... from hemorrhoids to premature ejaculation has been blamed on climate change. Weren't we all supposed to be underwater or incinerated by now? Thirty years of doomsday predictions that never come true. One would think that the public would wise up and see the money-grab behind it but one would be wrong.

This is a perfect example of how the Liberal media have used language to manipulate opinions. There is no legitimate reason to preface "climate change" with "human-caused", other than brainwashing. The evidence of there being any sort of long-term climate change is somewhat conflicting. The evidence that what MIGHT be there has human origins is very conflicting. And now we're going to build on top of that flimsy foundation a theory that it could have caused a virus, the reporting on which has been anything but consistent or credible.

I refuse to click on this article because this is insane. The 1st paragraph states that Southeast Asia has had changes in vegetation over the last 100yrs which has lead to an additional 40 species of bats! So now 'man made climate change' started 100 yrs ago? These so called scientists are just advocates for more government funding for their pet projects.
Also, Fauci and company have been telling us to stay outside for less spread of the virus. Come on man!

"Climate change"? The climate changes every single day and has since the creation of the Earth. It's called "Weather".
"Climate Change",..."Global Warming"? That's the least of my worries and should be the least of your worries too unless you live on a large body of water someplace and there's a storm or hurricane blowing your way. Get in your car or transportation and get our of the way and go back home a a few days and you'll survive. Your residence may be damaged or not survive, but you can find shelter someplace and rebuild or rent.
I'm more worried about socialism, communism, fascism, the Chinese Commies, the Russians and the Islamofascist lunatics, BiDUMB, PigLousy, Schumer, Nadler, Hussein Obammy, the Clintoon crime family and the moronic Chelsea, AOC et al and George Soros than I am about the mythical chimera of "Climate Change".

Then again maybe not. Maybe it was a virus that escaped from a lab in China who then spread the virus worldwide. That seems most likely. Occams razor.
