The Hidden Climate Threat: Pathogens Frozen in Ice for Thousands of Years

As global temperatures rise, melting permafrost and glaciers are beginning to release ancient microbes and viruses—some of which have been dormant for tens of thousands of years. In 2022, scientists revived a 48,500-year-old virus from Siberian permafrost, raising real concerns about “zombie pathogens” with unknown health risks.

These ancient microbes, once sealed in ice, could potentially interact with modern ecosystems or even human populations. While not all will be dangerous, experts warn this is yet another overlooked consequence of unchecked global warming.
