Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 1 (SARS-CoV-1), previously known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV),[2] is a strain of coronavirus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the respiratory illness responsible for the 2002–2004 SARS outbreak.[3] DJ "SARS-1" was contained... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS-CoV-2 or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS-CoV-2 ; Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2)[2] is a strain of coronavirus that causes COVID-19, the respiratory illness responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The virus previously had the provisional name 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV),[4][5][6][7] and has also been called human coronavirus 2019 (HCoV-19 or hCoV-19).[8][9][10][11] First identified in the city of Wuhan, Hubei, China, the World Health Organization designated the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern from January 30, 2020, to May 5, 2023.[12][13][14] SARS‑CoV‑2 is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus[15] that is contagious in humans.[16] DJ, SARS-2 was NOT contained...(no longer "emerging" but still a pandemic"). So...(I am NOT any kind of expert-just making my mind up...This is NOT science...just a forum on science...) "Climate collapse = pandemics" ???? -It will be a major factor ! There may not be other ways to explain the growth in diseases going global... -CoViD decreasing immunity is worsening the problem...However Zika-virus, African Swine Fever became global before CoViD19 showed up... -CoViD-19 itself may have become a global disaster with climate collapse being a major factor. DJ-Of course there are lots of other factors; Pandemic triangle is disease-transport-host... The transport factor -tens of millions of people per day traveling from one continent to another will result in more diseases going from one continent to another... Decrease of travel=decrease of pandemic risks... Hosts, humans/mammals may have become more vulnerable...There may have been over 4 billion human CoViD cases...so even if that "only" would decrease human immunity defense by 10% it -in itself-would mean more diseases going global... Diseases have been part of human history...most of the time we were able to "limit damage enough" to see human population grow from 1 billion in the 1800's to over 8.1 billion in 2024... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_growth or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_growth DJ-There may be a point in population growth=climate collapse...  < aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="menu" aria-label="More" role="" ="-175oi2r r-1777fci r-bt1l66 r-bztko3 r-lrvibr r-1loqt21 r-1ny4l3l" -testid="caret" ="" style="text-align: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-family: inherit; align-items: stretch; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: black; display: flex; flex-basis: auto; flex-direction: column; flex-shrink: 0; list-style: none; margin: 0px; min-height: 20px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; : relative; : 0; overflow: ; justify-: center; cursor: pointer; outline-style: none; user-: none;"> #COP28
#ClimateChange is about consumption of very richest people in our global society.
50% of global emissions are emitted by just 10% of the population.
90% of global emissions by 50% of the population.
We need climate justice to save our planet. The rich need to step up DJ, One could claim a small group of people may be responsible for increasing both climate and pandemic risks...Overpopulation itself is NOT the major problem... Around 80% of airtravel is done by 20% of air travellers...(Very likely over 50% of the global population NEVER was in an airplane !!!). Airpolution is killing millions of people per year...so yet another factor.... DJ-I leave it to experts to further investigate the climate component of pandemics... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaneer_Bar-Yam or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaneer_Bar-Yam ; Yaneer Bar-Yam (born 1959) is an American scientist and activist specializing in complex systems. An expert in the quantitative analysis of pandemics, he advised policy makers on the Western African Ebola virus epidemic[1] and founded EndCoronavirus.org, a global network of several volunteers formed in February 2020 to provide information, guidelines, and policy advocacy to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] He is the founding president of the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI), an independent research institution that studies complex systems science and its real-world applications. DJ, Understanding "compex systems" may help finding solutions... |
