No. It's a virus so old it predate all dinosaurs. It mutated to encode for a molecule that messes up humans in fairly recent times, sometimes in the past million or two years in a certain place for a certain reason. It's old old old.

"we've known this for a while"

How do you tell the difference between that and "we made it up when our models fell to bits".

I'd guess a reference in archive.org to this idea prevous to 1998 would prove it. Do you have that by chance?

Climate guys learn so much. In 2010 they learned CO2 is consumed by plants and now they're learning hydrology 101. AND IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. Oh help.

At this rate they'll be able to make an accurate prediction by about 2637.

[1]"In the early 1920s and 1930s, temperatures were high, similar to that of the present, and this affected the glacial melt. At the time many glaciers underwent a melt similar or even higher than what we have seen in the last ten years. When it became colder again in the 1950s and 1960s, glaciers actually started growing," says Dr. Kurt H. Kjær - in http://www.nature.com/ngeo/jou...
