If you take a look at the facts, you cannot ignore that the climate is changing, and not necessarily in a good way. The warming of the planet is causing more than just temperature change. The ice is also thawing and scientists are sounding the alarm that we could see the re-emergence of ancient pathogens that haven't been active for, quite literally, thousands of years.

Considering our current pandemic, this is a scary thought and, one that could be on the verge of taking place sooner, rather than later.
