Effects of Global Warming on Health

By Christophe Catesson

A report of the effects of global warming on health published by WHO, has estimated around one million fifty thousand deaths every year due to global warming. Further it declared that each year five million people are suffering from health problems and diseases caused for this climate change. The rising concern over this matter has led many scientists and researchers to take a deeper look and prepare a plan to save human civilization from this onslaught.

Global warming has caused changes in temperature, ocean current flow, sea level, ecosystem, economy, agriculture, industry, settlements and related to all these - the health and living. Warmer world has created congenial atmosphere for the breeding and life expanse of various virus, bacteria and carriers of infectious diseases. Few evidences of global warming leaving negative effects on human health are:

- The vectors distribution of infectious diseases have been altered and increased.

- Heat wave resulted causing deaths.

- The seasonal distribution of few species of allergenic pollen has been changed.

- Various extreme conditions of global warming like droughts, heat and cold wave, storm, flood, fire will increase the death tolls as well as injuries and diseases.

- Malnutrition and disordered development of children.

- It will cause increase of malaria, diarrhea, cholera, dengue, encephalitis and other diseases.

- There will be constant rising rate of mortality due to ground level ozone related diseases as well as high cardio respiratory morbidity.

Thus it will affect human health in two major ways - with extreme weather condition and with rising infectious diseases. IPCC in a study of one of the most global warming affected area of Illinois, Chicago, has provided an apprehensive report that by 2020 extreme climate condition like heat wave will raise the climate average deaths to 400 and to 497 by 2050 from the present average of 191. European heat wave of 2003 is an example of its severity. Heat waves will even cause cardio respiratory complications resulting to high rate of deaths.

The results of ill health due to climate change and infectious diseases are already evident. Houston as well as many tropical countries are experiencing frequent outbreak of malaria, dengue and other encephalitis diseases. Even colder regions like Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Queens are severely suffering from malaria since 1990 as a result of global warming. McAllen of Texas also suffered a dengue epidemic in 1995. Florida, New Orleans, Arizona, Mississippi, Texas, Colorado, and California - all are experiencing encephalitis epidemic for global warming since 1987. According to IPCC, 65% of world population will suffer from high risk of infectious diseases in near future. The risk itself will be increased by 20%, only as a result of global warming.

Effects of Global Warming on Agriculture and Food Supply - Implication For the USA

By Christophe Catesson

For a long time it has been believed that the effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply is going to be a positive one. This is because the rising level of carbon-dioxide resulted for climate change will help the greeneries for photosynthesis.

Thus there will be a rise of agricultural production and food supply. The theorem received a boost after the evidence of a sharp rise of barley production as one of the effects of temperature increase in Iceland which was quite impossible even few years ago.

But more recent experiments and researches have revealed that the effects of hotter weather on agriculture and food supply are not that good after all. AN UNEP 2001 report on the subject predicted that USA is going to have more droughts, floods, landslides and storms.

Winter will gradually be shortened and sobered down, while summer will rise in expansion and severity. Along with this heavy rain, big storm, heavy snowfall, high sea level, increasing coastal erosion and other problems will occur.

Though as one of the effects of climate change, the overall food supply and production level is supposed to rise in USA, but the Great Plains will suffer with more droughts resulting for these modifications.

Even now many effects of temperature increase on agriculture and food supply have been perceived. The popular maple syrup production of North east USA has diminished by 10%, moving its production zone to farther north for shorter and warmer winter.

On the other hand as one of the effects of global warming the south west USA is suffering from a water shortage which will increase in coming days. The zone has become dry for any standard agricultural production with an apprehension of resettling Dust Bowl of 1930s’ by the year 2030 for climate change.

Following a report of IPCC on the weather modification, California’s snow covered Sierra Mountains can reduce in near future by up to 60-90%. This will create dire water shortage in summer, making the Central Valley area unsuitable for agricultural production. The State University of Colorado has declared that the area is going to be less productive due to effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply.

Other destructive expected effects include the food supply production in Florida which is going to suffer a lot due to frequent and large scale floods. Also one of the most profitable agricultural products of USA - corn will suffer a bad condition due to dry and hot atmosphere.

As another example of the effects of weather change on agriculture and food supply - with the rise of temperature by 3 to 11 degrees in this century, the production rate of the main crops - the rice, corn, wheat, barley, soybeans and sorghum - will be cut down by 3-5% for each point rise of temperature.

Recycling Helps Prevent Global Warming - How to Keep the Environment Clean

By Bryan Burbank

If you want to keep the environment clean then you need to recycle everything you can. You should set aside a few spaces so that you can keep your recyclables in a separate area. All of your water bottles should go into one container so that it will make it easier for you to take them to the recycling center. Also you need to make sure that you recycle all of your chance and glass bottles as well because this will also help the environment. Many people do not know that you can also recycle your old newspaper, you can call to have it picked up each month.

If we are going to prevent global warming than one way that you can take part is to recycle everything you use. the best thing you can do is educate yourself on the best way that you can recycle all of your throwaway items. Maybe some of your old clothes can be donated to Goodwill this way they can be recycled and used again. Make sure that you try to avoid using plastic bags from the grocery store because once they end up in a landfill they can cause a lot of problems. Once you have started a recycle program in your house you will find that it is easy to do.

Remember that if you want to improve the environment you need to recycle everything you can. It always works better if you have specific containers that you use for each of your recyclable items. Once you make a few small steps towards improving the environment you will feel better about yourself.

Ah, Global Warming

By Lance Winslow

Most people do not really understand what “Global Warming” is, it is not climate change, rather it is new “buzz-word” created by humans which is defined as human’s emission of green house gasses is causing the Earth to heat up. Now you might say that you believe that, but I would ask you why? Why do you believe that? Do you really believe that mankind’s CO2 is causing the Earth’s ambient temperature and atmosphere to heat up?

Okay, so let’s say you do believe this, may I ask why? Is it because you read it somewhere? Or that you heard that some scientists believe this to be the case, or is it because Al Gore received a Nobel prize for a docu-drama depicting catastrophic consequences to human civilization if we continue to all “pollutants” or CO2 to enter the Earth’s atmosphere? And have you ever asked yourself why CO2 is a pollutant at all?

Did you know that humankind has been living with and around CO2 for most all of its evolutionary development? Did you know that humans create CO2 when they breathe? If you really want to be carbon neutral, then stop breathing, remove yourself from the planet and vote with your life.

The reality is that this pale blue dot, Planet Earth has been heating up and cooling down for 5.5 Billion Years. It was doing this before mankind evolved and will continue after we are gone. Trying to stop the Earth’s climate cycles is akin to trying to prevent Continental Drift. If you think you are going to stop climate change plus or minus in temperature by driving a smaller car, you are uninformed.

It has been estimated that to cool the Planet’s Temperature one-degree using wind energy it would take 60 Trillion Dollars and put wind generators everywhere, which could even slow the air circulation and cause heating to boot, no not much, but you get the point. Sixty Trillion with a Capital “T” is the entire world’s GDP put together.

And just because you cooled the Planet one-degree does not mean the planet itself might not cool another 5 degrees, so you are not going to change much. In the 1970s and 1980s the scientists said we were going into an Ice Age, now they say we are going to overheat, and of course once upon a time the Earth was the center of the Universe and it was flat!

Perhaps, what I am getting at is humans are so ego-centric that they think everything is about them, it isn’t. There is nothing wrong with the planet, perhaps only the people on top. Why do so many people believe in Global Warming? Because the newspapers and TV tells them too, just like it tells them whom to vote for, as folks have surrendered their minds to the media.
