Would be poetic justice if a virus from melting ice kills off humanity. Since humans don't care enough to live in harmony with nature.

Do any of them take over human hosts, and then sprout spider legs when you chop off their head?

As far as I’m aware they have not yet tested for possible contamination by The Thing. But Kurt Russell is being flown in as we speak.

Perfect! We've already seen what the world will do in response to a virus so we're pretty much set

Not clicking on this site. Too many ads.

Most websites today have ads, it's hard to avoid them. I think you should use browser with adblocker like

DuckDuckGo

If you do system wide blocking by setting an adblocking dns for the whole device it stop them. Check out stuff like nextdns.io. They have a config profile you can set up to do it and if you make an account with them you can configure what plugins you use for blocking… basically it lets you use ublock lists on the dns side.
