“Why do we need to focus on climate change throughout the COVID epidemic?”

Governments and communities around the world are harnessing all of their focus on the (as of writing) current COVID epidemic. Although this is necessary given present circumstances, climate change is still occurring and will continue to grow given current consumption habits. If we forget about this problem, then we will be unprepared for the myriad of climate-induced effects coming our way. For example, fire season will start-up in Northern California around the time COVID begins to become under more control. If nothing is done about this, then a catastrophe will be waiting to happen. This is Why We Still Need to Focus on Climate Change Throughout the COVID Epidemic.
