Climate Change Likely to Increase Virus Spread in Animals.
A new study predicts that climate change will cause thousands of new viruses to spread among many kinds of animals by 2070.
The researchers say such spread will likely increase the risk of new diseases that pass from animals to humans.
The research covered about 3,000 kinds of mammals, animals including cats, bats, whales, and humans, to name a few.
The scientists created a model to see how these species might migrate and share viruses in the next 50 years if the world warms by 2 degrees Celsius.
Recent research has suggested that such a temperature rise is possible.
The team said the model predicted that cross-species virus spread will happen more than 4,000 times among mammals.

The researchers said not all viruses will spread to humans or lead to widespread pandemics like COVID-19.
However, the study suggests that the high number of cross-species viruses will increase the risk of spread to humans.
