But I do not see Global Warming as a factor in a pandemic.

We all saw what happened in Texas. The southward trough of VERY cold air that hit Texas happened because of the dynamics of Global Warming (recently called Global Weirding) and the warming of the NORTH polar regions.
Finally, the other effect of Global Warming that was the basis of the question : how are the CV Pandemic and Global Warming related? The CV Pandemic seems to have originated in the Wuhan region of China. A prevailing theory is that it started in the large "WET MARKETS" there. Many scientists believe that the CV jumped from BATS to humans at that market. Those particular bats were not NORMALLY local to those wet markets. But, due to Global Warming, many species of animals and bats are moving to new areas, just like the humans are migrating. Also, many animal species will be (and currently are) going extinct. Also plants. Some animals will increase in numbers, maybe bats, but more will die out. Another factor in the spread of Pandemics, in general, is the increase of international travel and airline flights - this is like an improved delivery system for Pandemics. Sorry for so many words, but I wanted to fully explain as many aspects or side effects of Global Warming. It is EVERYWHERE. It even explains why the US GNP will be decreasing compared to Canada's GNP which will be increasing in the future. Greenland and Alaska have more farming potential now. The list of effects goes on-and-on. Thank you for the question. I hope you and others get a chance to read it.
