Permafrost Melting in the Arctic Circle Could Unleash Ancient Viruses: Scientists Warn of Potential Global Disaster

Foreign media reports “Scientists have warned that “With climate change and global warming, the permafrost in the Arctic Circle Melting… and the Arctic zombie virus that has been frozen for a long time. One day it may be released in large quantities and will probably be accompanied by other viruses dating back to the last million years…”

In 2014, geneticist Jean-Michel Claverie from a university in France leads a team that successfully revives a virus from permafrost. of Siberia is the first in the world In addition to demonstrating that It can still infect single cells. After 30,000 years and we believe it is the oldest virus on Earth. Which is probably about 48,500 years old…

Guardian scientist Claverie said: “Low temperatures, darkness and lack of oxygen in the permafrost becomes the perfect state for the preservation of biological materials” and “The viruses we have isolated can be transmitted. There is only the amoeba. Currently we can stop it. which will cause harm to humans” but it doesn’t mean that “Other viruses currently frozen In the frozen ground layer is stable. It will have no effect on humans… If you think so, it means you are wrong. If the ice it melts and falls It will be more worrying than Covid!!”

“As Arctic sea ice disappears and Siberian industry develops,” the Guardian said Claverie. large-scale drilling and mining This causes the release of a large amount of germs” and “When miners inhale the virus, That will be the beginning of the world disaster…”

Virologist “Marion Koopmans” from the medical center in the Netherlands said: “We don’t know what kind of virus it is. It lay motionless in the permafrost. But I think it’s going to be a really bad viral thing!!”
