Many people should "have a deep understanding". Under the small new coronavirus, the world has already fallen into "panic". Although humans are constantly defending, the continuous mutation of the virus is also happening, making people "unprepared for defense".
and so after so many years, humans still have "helpless" to "completely eliminate" the new crown of . However, Cornell University in New York published a study in the journal Nature , which once again raised human concerns about the next pandemic.
These studies clearly point out that under climate change, the risk of viruses entering people is increasing exponentially. This research is mainly based on factors such as habitat changes, climate change, etc. The degree of risk of bat on human-borne pathogens is being increased. What is going on?
Let’s take a look below. This research can be regarded as a new warning that the greater disaster faced by human beings may not have arrived yet.
Earth's climate changes, the risk of virus transmission faced by humans increases
In fact, even if we don't look at this research, we know that the emergence of climate warming will increase the risk of human exposure and viruses. Over the years, there has been a lot of news about the release of the virus caused by the climate.
Under Global Warming , the glacier areas of the earth, whether it is Antarctic, Arctic, plateau glaciers, permafrost, etc., the sleeping viruses and bacteria in these areas may be slowly released.
And, most importantly, the bacteria and viruses sealed here may be "unknown" and the risks to humans are unpredictable.
To give a simple example, the French National Research Center found Siberian broad-mouthed jar virus in a sample of permafrost in Siberia .
This virus is the third super-large virus in the world, but everyone should know that the age of the virus's survival was prehistoric human when Neanderthals became extinct.
As a result, in modern society, we actually discovered it, and it has been sealed in the ice for more than 30,000 years. The most terrifying thing is that the virus can survive and is still infectious.
This means that if the permafrost melts due to climate warming and industrial development in the Arctic, it may pose risks to human public health.
Therefore, the earth's climate change is increasing the risk of viruses faced by humans, and the possibility is getting higher and higher. It is mainly because humans have not reached an agreement on climate response measures, which has led to the continuous increase in the temperature of the earth.
Human beings may break through the critical point of 1.5 degrees of temperature for the first time in the next five years, so this is a disaster for mankind.
The United Nations also issued another warning at the 2022 Meteorological Conference that the earth is rapidly approaching the critical point of climate change. Faced with this global crisis that has severely damaged the economy and shaken international relations, mankind must "cooperate, otherwise it will perish."
This is another warning from Nature that climate change may drive the next pandemic, and the study warns that rising temperatures increase the risk of virus spreading from bats.
The bigger disaster hasn't come yet? Research warnings can indeed illustrate this point
bats are organisms that carry extremely many viruses and have many zoonotic viruses that are almost uninfected by themselves. The international research team has once again warned humans that if we want to avoid another pandemic similar to the new coronavirus, we must take corresponding measures to address climate change.
research team issued a serious warning to humans through 25 years of land use changes and bat behavior data in the subtropical areas of Australia between 1996 and 2020.
Humans use of land resources on a large scale has led to a huge change in the habitat of bats. At the same time, climate change has also led to a shortage of bat food.
Under such circumstances, bat populations had to migrate to densely populated areas to live, which led to the continuous increase in contact between bats and humans, and the spread of viruses.
There have been found that the spread of viruses in bats. For example: the Hendra virus outbreak in Australia, bats spread to the body of the intermediate host horse and then to the human body. The most typical feature of infection with the virus is severe dyspnea and high mortality rate, which poses risks to people.
So, under the influence of dual factors, the impact of bats on humans is increasing. This study also determined the mechanism link between habitat loss, climate and increased spillover risks. In 2022, it is not surprising that Hendra virus was detected in Queensland horses for the first time in five years.
So, for humans, such changes will put us on the edge of more dangerous. The climate has hit humans hard enough, and the spread of viruses is constantly increasing due to factors such as climate change, which are all mutually impacted.
This study warning also proves again that a greater disaster for human beings has not come yet. Whether it is the impact of climate change or future viruses, the degree of risk is doubled. Of course, the impact of climate may be a little larger.
Is there really nothing humans can do?
is actually not helpless. We don’t say that solving each country’s own land problem can still be done. This mainly depends on whether everyone wants to reach an agreement and make up their minds to change.
After so many years, many countries in the world have also signed "climate agreements", but many countries have "speak one thing and do another". I didn't care about such things at all. Even if my country was facing a climate crisis, what I said was to protect the climate, and behind it was "indiscriminate".
Including 2021, when the new coronavirus rages the world, has humans awakened?
It can be said that it has not awakened. In 2021, the global greenhouse gas still hit a new high, among which the concentration values of carbon dioxide , methane and nitrous oxide were 149%, 262% and 124% of the pre-industrial level in 1750, respectively.
So, if the earth is not actually maintained, otherwise this situation would not have occurred.
So, even if it is a large-scale research and research warnings are announced to the world, it is impossible to reverse if humans do not work together and maintain them together. Then the greater disaster has not come yet, and it will happen sooner or later, and may come earlier than expected.
So, it’s not that humans have no choice but that humans are not sincerely working together to maintain the earth, so in the end they can only bear it themselves.
Not to mention that humans can reverse this situation in one go, but at least humans must take action and see some signs of improvement.
Therefore, these problems may become bottlenecks that limit the continued development of human civilization. Many people may think that we can immigrate to other planets, which is not good.
0 Let me say that a good earth cannot be maintained by humans. Even if there are many planets and they move to many planets, the final outcome may be the same as the earth, which is essentially no difference.
Just like the United Nations Climate Conference - Guterres said at the summit, "We are fighting for our lives, but we have been failing." It means that humans cannot "jointly".
