Of Climate and COVID-19: A Tale of Two Crises

By Christofer Mowry, Chief Executive Officer at General Fusion Turns out the telltale signs of the COVID-19 pandemic were here long before this public health crisis overshadowed every aspect of our lives.  While most of us were unaware of the gathering viral storm, COVID-19 quietly made its way from China to Europe last fall.  By December, health experts became alarmed at the implications of what appeared to be isolated local outbreaks of infection, far removed from the everyday concerns of our own busy lives.  Most of us and many of our political leaders chose to ignore these early warnings from those who spend their lives dedicated to understanding the complexities of epidemiology.  Sound familiar?  This is precisely the same disquieting chronology simultaneously unfolding with the changing Climate of our world.
