Zombie Climate Change Viruses from the Ice! By Brian Simpson
It sounds like some horrible mish mash of a movie with a killer virus released from the ice. That is one take that has been given by a few climate change fanatics with the news that scientists, in their wisdom, have revived 48,500-year-old viruses found in the ice, or rather thawing tundra in Siberia. The revived viruses, although groggy, are still infectious, but not for humans, but target amoebas. Still, that has set the climate change fanatics off, claiming that climate change is melting the permafrost, releasing potentially dangerous pathogens.
Well, I doubt it. Any case, don’t dig up the bugs. What is more likely is that mad scientists are at work with gain-of-function research, such as use of genetic scissors called CRISPR-Cas9, to cut and paste genes, making the real dangerous pathogens, that then get conveniently released from bioweapons labs, generating all we have seen since 2020.
