Could be they release methne gas Some of the worst epidemics in the past two decades have been the result of "viral spillover" — the infection and sustainable transmission of a virus to a new host. The COVID-19 pandemic, SARS and MERS outbreaks and H1N1 are all examples of public health crises spurred by spillover events, generally from animals to humans. As global warming continues, scientists are looking to understand the role that our altering climate will have on the spread of new viruses — and future pandemics. In a paper published October 19 in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, scientists found that spillover events may already be occurring in the high Arctic, where glaciers are melting at the quickest rate in history. www.dw.com/en/could-melting-glaciers-cause-future-pandemics/a-63515872
