In 2015, a team of scientists from the United States and China traveled to Tibet to gather samples of Earth's oldest glacial ice.The team drilled 50 meters (164 feet) down into the glacier to obtain two After that, the researchers used microbiology techniques to identify microbes in the samples.Those techniques revealed 33 virus groups - including, notably, 28 ancient viruses that scientists had never seen before.
I do not believe in climate change, the earths temperature naturally fluctuates. "The It's no surprise that the glacier held these mysterious viruses for so long, researchers said.
Now you could argue there is no evidence or data to support this, few years ago, a volcano erupted in Russia ( I think I do not remember) and the observed carbon dioxide output was more than triple the theoretical carbon dioxide given off by human activities over the course of their existence.
This method held up even during tests in which the researchers covered the outer layer of the ice with other bacteria and viruses. From Tibet to the Arctic to Antarctica, glaciers and ice caps … ANCIENT viruses currently locked in a Chinese glacier could be unleashed upon us if climate change causes the ice to melt.

"This study establishes ultra-clean microbial and viral sampling procedures for glacier ice, which complements prior As the team pointed out in their paper, climate change now threatens both our ability to exhaustively catalogue those tiny lifeforms - as well as our ability to "At a minimum, [ice melt] could lead to the loss of microbial and viral archives that could be diagnostic and informative of past Earth climate regimes," they wrote. If this happens, it's best to know as much about these viruses as possible, the researchers wrote.Studying ancient glacial microbes can be challenging. "However, in a worst-case scenario, this ice melt could release pathogens into the environment." You will receive a verification email shortly.There was a problem. By Rodrigo Pérez Ortega Jan. 17, 2020 , 12:20 PM. "We are very far from sampling the entire diversity of viruses on Earth," Chantal Abergel, a researcher in environmental virology at the French National Centre for Scientific Research, who wasn't involved with the study, Stay up to date on the coronavirus outbreak by signing up to our newsletter today.Thank you for signing up to Live Science. To paraphrase Crazy Hair Alien Guy: "I'm not sayin' it's man-made Climate Change, but...Climate Change!"
Absurd leaps of induction, and false assumptions leading to Rock Solid confirmation bias. In 2015, a team of scientists from the United States and China traveled to Tibet to gather samples of Earth's oldest glacial ice. Viruses have resided in the Guliya ice …
Of these, 28 were previously unknown to science, the researchers said. Then, the researchers After all of this work (shaving off about 0.6 inches, or 1.5 cm of ice), the researchers reached an uncontaminated layer that they could study. Scientists say a 15,000-year-old ice cap has played host to 33 ancient virus groups, 28 of which, are new to science. A group of scientists says it has made a dire discovery hidden deep in the world’s ice caps - ancient viruses. But the insides were still pristine, the researchers wrote in the study. Investigating these mysterious viruses could help scientists on two fronts: For one, these stowaways can teach researchers which viruses thrived in different climates and environments over time, the researchers wrote in a paper posted on the "However, in a worst-case scenario, this ice melt [from climate change] could release pathogens into the environment," the researchers wrote in the study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed. ©
