"COVID-19 is not a climate-change pandemic — as far as we know, nothing
about the emergence or spread of the coronavirus bears the recognizable
imprint of global warming. But if the disease and our utter inability to
respond to it terrifies you about our future staring down climate
change, it should, not just as a “fire drill” for climate change
generally but as a test run for all the diseases that will be unleashed
in the decades ahead by warming. The virus is a terrifying harbinger of
future pandemics that will be brought about if climate change continues
to so deeply destabilize the natural world: scrambling ecosystems,
collapsing habitats, rewiring wildlife, and rewriting the rules that
have governed all life on this planet for all of human history."
