Shifts in global bat diversity suggest a possible role of climate change in the emergence of SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2

Published:January 2021

Author(s):Robert M. Beyer, Andrea Manica & Camilo Mora

Publisher:Science of the Total Environment

The number of coronaviruses in an area is strongly correlated with local bat species richness, which in turn is affected by climatic conditions. Climate change may have played a key role in the evolution or transmission of the two SARS CoVs.Read More →

Concurrent 2018 Hot Extremes Across Northern Hemisphere Due to Human‐Induced Climate Change

Published:June 2019

Author(s):M. M. Vogel, J. Zscheischler, R. Wartenburger, D. Dee, S. I. Seneviratne

Publisher:AGU

Results show the 2018 north hemispheric concurrent heat events were influenced by anthropogenic warming and further reveal that the average high-exposure area to concurrent warm and hot spells in the Northern Hemisphere will increase with warming.Read More →
