Global Warming: Viruses Will Escape from Melting Ice
28-Sep-2005
As the world warms up, ice sheets and glaciers are melting,
releasing trapped
viruses that have been frozen for hundreds of thousands—perhaps
even
millions—of years. Are any of them dangerous?
The Independent (UK) newspaper reports that during the freezing
process,
glaciers incoporate nearby fungi, bacteria and viruses, many of
which remain
alive, in a state of suspended animation. Since these ice sheets
are melting
quickly, a whole new group of viruses is about to be released
into the world,
recreating ancient illnesses. Diseases we thought we had
eradicated, like polio
and smallpox, could reappear. A new type of flu virus could
emerge which, in
combination with the rapidly spreading avian flu virus, could
mean a deadly
future for human beings. As microbes thaw out and reenter our
world, they can
affect fish, animals and plants as well. If a microbe attacks
something low
down on the food chain, like plankton, it could lead to
starvation for higher
animals and for us.
In 1999, climate researcher Scott Rogers found a virus called
ToMV in 17
ice-core sections, hidden deep inside the Greenland ice pack.
The virus had
survived being frozen in ice for 140,000 years. Since then, he's
found many
other frozen viruses in ice cores from Greenland, Siberia and
Antarctica. Last
year, Rogers found flu virus frozen in ice on a lake in Siberia.
Flu viruses
mutate every year, and our immune systems have to struggle to
keep up with
these changes. A sudden release of an older flu virus could be
devastating.
