See, because you took a long shower with natural gas heated water, drank non-fair trade non-GMO coffee, had bacon on your breakfast sandwich, and drove a fossil fueled vehicle to work, you increased the greenhouse gases and are making it colder and wetter…per the climalunatics at CNN, who use vast amounts of fossil fuels and energy to gather and disseminate their version of the news
Numerous scientists have studied how the 1918 flu spread to become the deadliest pandemic in history and which interventions worked, research that is becoming increasingly relevant during the current coronavirus crisis.
But little research has been done on how environmental conditions affected the 1918 pandemic — until now.
The 1918 flu coincided with the final years of the World War I, and it’s been well documented that heavy rain and cold temperatures impacted many battles. Now, a new study reveals that the cold, rainy weather was part of a once-in-a-century climate anomaly that occurred from 1914 to 1919 and added to the severity of the 1918 pandemic.
The worst ever was the Black Death, which killed somewhere between 75 million and 200 million as the Roman Warm Period ended and the Dark Ages started, the latter being a cooling period. But, see, cold and wet
The research on 1918 has eerie similarities to the current crisis, as many parts of the world appear to be entering a second wave of Covid-19, or remain in a prolonged first wave of the virus.
Not only are many parts of the Northern Hemisphere starting to see less warm and sunny weather in the transition to fall, but climate change continues to have adverse effects across the globe. For example, the Atlantic is experiencing one of its busiest hurricane seasons on record.
“It is really the convergence of our two major crises — man-made climate change and infectious disease,” More said. “Absolutely, climate is going to affect the likelihood of infectious disease outbreaks. It has in the past and it will in the future.”
