Business Insider's climate crisis/COVID-19 article was debunked again, according to the Illinois Review

In an article titled, "Climate change is only going to make heath crises like coronavirus more frequent and worse," published by Business Insider, it's suggested the global warming will cause the coronavirus, among other future pandemics, to be more likely and more severe. 

But this idea was proven false.

Scientific evidence actually points at global warming as reducing the severity of the coronavirus, according to the Illinois Review. The evidence also shows that the frequency of the virus will also be reduced by global warming. The influenza pandemic and other health crises are also likely to be less severe due to it, according to the Illinois Review. 

Warmer temperatures will make pandemics of any kind less likely to take place in the future, which will also decrease severity and the amount of deaths.
