One of the most worrying things about climate change is that idea of the ancient virus buried deep in the glacier, which then melts and releases the virus into the world. I think you're right to call attention to this possibility. Dengue and malaria are awful, but at least we have some understanding of how to care for folks who have them.
Side note: vegan sausage is pretty good! I think out of all the meat substitutes, that and fake chicken nuggets are the best.
We need a lot of understanding at this moment in time, especially about viruses from the melting glaciers. How do we care for people who get infected by them? How do we control the viruses?
It's scary. Years ago, Saul Bellow in Mr. Sammler's Planet said it's scary that humans use their brains the way dinosaurs used their bodies to intimidate other animals. We know what happened to dinosaurs and other animals when nature came for a revenge. Humans will be able to cope for nature's revenge, only if people stop using their brains to intimidate and intervene with nature.

I guess the truth is that we really don't know if we can. That's what's so scary about this particular aspect of climate change (among others).
