The Biden administration published a report Tuesday on the state of climate change in the U.S., linking the phenomenon to increased pandemic risks.
The report, known as the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA 5), features a full section examining the relationship between climate change and pandemics like COVID-19. [emphasis, links added]
The report asserts that pandemics will become more likely and worse as the projected effects of climate change set in over time, the combined effects of which “[require] early collective action and systemic change” to avoid or mitigate.
“Climate-driven changes in ecosystems increase the risk of emerging infectious diseases by altering interactions among humans, pathogens and animals and changing social and biological susceptibility to infection,” and particularly heightens “the risk of infection among people at the front lines of exposure, especially those with fewer resources,” the report states.

It further posits that more than 50% of identified pathogenic illnesses are made worse by climate change, especially those originating in animals or vector-borne diseases.
“[Climate changes] alter the distribution, diversity, and abundance of vectors and non-human hosts, as well as the host’s susceptibility to pathogens and pathogen replication. Climate changes can also speed the transmission of pathogens and promote the establishment of new diseases,” the report states.
While the NCA 5 purports to have several solutions to get ahead of the next pandemic, many key questions remain officially unanswered about the origins of the last one.
The White House does not yet have an official position regarding whether COVID-19 originated due to a lab leak, but it continues to seek answers.
Notably, an experienced Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer recently alleged to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that the CIA paid a group of six agents investigating COVID-19’s origins six-figure sums to change their positions away from suspecting a lab leak in Wuhan, China, according to a June letter to CIA Director William Burns signed by Republican Ohio Reps. Brad Wenstrup and Mike Turner.
“COVID-19 and climate change have common underlying challenges and solutions,” according to NCA 5, including “collective action among nations to minimize threats,” “bottom-up and top-down programming to build community resilience” and “solutions to address stark socioeconomic, racial, and gender disparities that increase the vulnerability of those who are facing discrimination or have fewer resources.”
Hurricanes, drought, wildfires, heat waves, and air pollution all variously added to the transmission of COVID-19 and the severity of cases, particularly among minorities and lower-income populations in many instances, according to NCA 5.
“Pandemics are caused by infectious diseases, viruses, and bacteria,” Steve Milloy, senior legal fellow for the Energy and Environment Legal Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation regarding the pandemic section of the report.
“There’s no evidence that the slight warming we have seen over the last 150 years has anything to do with any of that… mosquitoes are not impacted by the average global temperature, that’s not how it works at all. It’s about hygiene and insecticides.”

All of the trash in that report is 100% contradicted by the IPCC summary report issued the past summer. Not that I have high confidence in the IPCC. This report echoes the UN Sec.Gen. who declared CODE RED and contradicted the head of IPCC on all points.
Biden selling Snake Oil called Globalism
How many legitimate scientific studies did Biden’s National Climate Assessment use to come to their conclusion? It appears to be unsupported allegations. The use of bribery to get agents to change their story on the origins of COVID is a red flag that the assessment is a total fraud.
America did not and will not stay great by falling.for and self harming with BS
Nor by tolerating BS Presidents.
Biden the Blunder claims Blizzards linked to Global Warming(Crackpot James Hansen has)just more of the load of total malarkey when this whole Global Warming/Climate Change consists of
Experience would suggest that US government co-funded pathogen gain-of-function research conducted in an inadequately secure facility under the control of a government focused on global domination would be a far more likely cause of future pandemics.
