Studying whether there are long-term responses from our planet caused by changes in human activity patterns due to COVID-19 quarantines. In the short-term, and timely information on national and global food supplies that will help support many country and the global agencies that oversee food security. Scientists can track air quality changes, such as the drop in nitrogen dioxide, a major air pollutant, over major metropolitan areas around the world. Seeing Earth’s lights at night also helps researchers track patterns in energy use and human activity around the planet.
The information helps shed light on transmission, incubation, and environmental stability of the virus; what has been published about medical care for those affected; what we know about COVID-19 risk factors; and what we know about non-pharmaceutical interventions. The data was made available to the future research community. (GCC, April 2020)
No, virus emergence is linked to wildlife trade and deforrestation, but not to climate change. HIV, Ebola, Influenza and corona virus are zoonosises that are emerging by the proximitiy of wild animals to humans and the habit of slaughtering and selling the wild animals in unhygenic circumstances (uncontrolled) on wet markets or directly in the jungle...
Mr Carsten Weerth,
Yes, I agree. There may be indirect link. Global climate change due to the rate of deforestation. and this article linked.
China is black hole of Asia's deforestation

Global climate change is only one from global changes on our planet. Given period is characterized by global changes in many sides of our planet and us --- its parts. Our physical bodies are formed from planet environments --- gas, liquid, rigid. They are colonies of bacteria --- alpha and omega of the life. Viruses are structures of the Sun, materialized on the Earth. One can say, viruses are some programs directing colonies of bacteria (our bodies). All changes on planet are consequences of global changes of the Sun which are caused by energetic state of Sun's orbit in Galaxy. We fly together the Sun to region of Galaxy where the density of galactic environment is more than it was earlier. The Sun absorbs more density and non-stable "food" and reacts to these changes, i. e. transforms. Because the Earth and all its "users" are parts o the Sun, they must transform too. In partial, human bodies must be transformed that to correspond o new conditions on planet. All viruses as particles of the Sun transform our bodies for further life us. All planet environments change correspond to changes of the Sun. Therefore we must obtain immunity against this virus and next ones. This virus as the past of the Sun is now in all planetary environments.
Changes on the Earth began in 1980-90-s, but only now we began react on them as on cosmic manifestations. The Earth obtains energy from the Sun through the North Pole and absorbs by the North semi-sphere. Refurbished energy comes to the South semi-sphere. climate is the result of changes inside all planetary environments. More detail information is on my website:: http://www.ws/borissova/ We must consider the changes as interval of the time of Galaxy the part of which we are.
Information about beginning of the Earth on the North Pole is in books

We cannot change the motion of the Sun but we must learn to live in this new for us world.
Dear Jawad,
Of course it's not linked to climate change. If you vote "yes", please give any arguments for this statement. But this is not possibe, because there are no arguments. Some people might be surprised, but not every event on Earth is linked to climate change and it's dangers to ignore all other environmental factors that might be responsible for changes in geology and living world. Large epidemics that affected mankind are rather linked to colder times. You make it too easy, to link any problem on Earth with climate change!
All the best,
Elmar
The global spread of COVID-19 is more linked to global travel for leisure and business reasons...
There is a clear correlation, not causation. Climate change is caused, among other thinks by the globalization, and the increase use of fuel to move the products. The spread of the pandemic is caused by the globalization, and the movement of people from one area of the glove to other, mainly by plane.
BTW, due to the stop in the movement of people, we are not able to detect nothing in the global temperatures, looking only the climate models, we know that they owns delays that acts as a feedback to stabilize the system. We must remain in this state for years to see any effect in the climate change.
Dear Pau,
This is one of the recurring and, to be honest, a bit boaring arguments. It doesn't get truer just because it keeps repeating. What's about the Spanish flu, a worldwide pandemic that caused 25-50 Million deaths in the years 1918-1920. As far as I know, people did not travel by plane at that time and globalization and climate change did not play any role. Your line of arguments from globalization, climate change to the spread of pandemis is not convincing but ideologically driven.
All the best,
Elmar
Dear Elmar,
Review the time lapse of the pandemic in the Spanish Flu and the extension.
Is a bit boaring argument if one analyze only the shapes but not the extension and time lapse.
Regarding the relation, I clearly said correlation, not causation.
Best.
My key question is, if it relates to climate change, that means covid-19 is resistant to various temperature of the earth.
Dear Thierry De Mees
These past few weeks in my "mind", there was something strange about this plague. And the world is waiting.

There is no evidence of spreading of COVID 19 with climate change. As far as we have seen it has been transmitted in all areas of the globe such as cold, warm and hot areas excepting North and South poles. National Academics of Sciences has reported that change in the heat (temperature) and humidity might not affect the spread of COCVID 19.
No, there is currently no evidence that climate change could affect the spread of SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus (Covid-19 disease-causing disease) and pandemic disease. Other factors determine the rapid spread of Coronavirus. These factors include high mobility of people, international and business tourism, and the specificity of this virus's high infectivity.

COVID-19 pandemic and how it relates to climate change is that well-resourced, equitable health systems with a strong and supported health workforce are essential to protect us from health security threats, including climate change. The austerity measures that have strained many national health systems over the past decade will have to be reversed if economies and societies are to be resilient and prosperous in an age of change. We are seeing the devastating consequences of under-prepared health systems when they are faced with these increasingly regular shocks. Some of these health impacts have a clear climate change signature, such as the increasing frequency and strength of extreme weather events or the expanding range and spread of vector-borne diseases like malaria or dengue. For others, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the connection with climate change is less clear cut.
