Climate Change: Little Effect on Health

On climate change, often ditemu temperature and humidity changes suddenly and the body 'forced' to be extra hard to adapt to these changes, KADA So when the immune system causes a small decrease.

In addition, climate change also mempegaruhi environmental conditions and water quality. Dust and dirt in the dry air can be carriers of disease. Water quality can also be reduced, for example, the water becomes more turbid water by the summer or become more easily contaminated by pollutants in the rainy season. This caused the disease more easily developed than the unstable weather conditions. These changes can affect the physical condition of the little guy, even bias causes decreased immunity.

global warming articles

Global warming or "global warming" has become the hottest issue in the newspapers, and often a topic of conversation antarabangsa.Pemanasan global community has been caused by several factors such as aktiiviti burning heat island, and the use of carbon monogsida and excessive carbon dioxide in the life our daily. What effects will happen if this is not checked? there are many effects that would arise if these things are not preventable.


Apparently, global warming is what is worrying us all. Due to past behavior and attitudes of developers hands of local people who burn rubbish in the forest, the gases are released into the air around and beyond the ozone layer. Did you know that carbon monoxide and menipisi to erode the ozone layer naturally. The ozone layer can be thinned up to 75 percent of the sunlight from penetrating the earth. If the erosion of the ozone layer, global warming will occur as a result widespread.


Without the filtered sunlight contains 30 percent of electromagnetic radiation that will kill the cells of human skin. If sunlight filtered by a layer without contact with the skin, tumor will form and will become cancer cells. This will cause the earth to many people who die of skin cancer. serious skin cancers and the cure is not found by scientists to this day.


Next, if global temperatures well above the 5.8 drjah Celsius, the ice in the north and south poles will start to melt it will bring negative impact on us all. As a result the average sea will rise to 95 percent, this means that many land areas that will ditengelami by water. Many of the world's population will die.


Global warming will initially cause the migraine headaches and excessive. Migraine is caused by overheating will occur and result in serious bleeding in the brain. Migraine is caused by the accumulation of contaminated blood in the brain and this will make the patient uncomfortable.


Heat island is also often associated with global warming. Heat island caused by asab-asab removed from car and factory fumes. This smoke contains carbon monoxide is high ground will deplete the ozone layer. Ole reason, meminimunkan we have emphasized the use of vehicles.


Kongklusinya, global warming is the phenomenon that haunted the international community. This is because of its impact on the world's population is very serious. therefore we as part of the inhabitants of this earth should take precautions kangkah before it becomes more serious. Do not let the rice has become porridge that we want to change. Do not want to have a new banging there is no point. Nay, while we still can do something about the world we want to bequeath to our children and grandchildren of this.

GLOBAL WARMING - 'No one can escape. "

Earth is experiencing "fever" due to global warming climate is also bringing with him a world increasingly torn kacir.Bagi most people, climate change and global warming affect the economy more than your health. However, the effects of global warming far more profound and will leave the impression to all the world's population does not matter where they are located.There may also be of us saw those killed by natural disasters such as hurricanes, flooding and hot weather as an unfortunate but, what about those who survived? Are they free from the threat of health after surviving a drowning, freezing cold or die of dehydration (water shortage)? Believe it or not, global warming has killed more than one million people worldwide since 2000, either directly or indirectly.World Health Organization (WHO) to produce statistics that explains half of the deaths occurred in Asia Pacific, the most densely populated continent. In addition, the number has not increased with 800,000 other victims who were killed due to air pollution each year.Understanding global warmingGlobal warming caused by air pollution, which increases the amount of carbon gases (water vapor, karbod dioxide, carbon monoxide) are also known as greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere. The heat of the sun is normally to the surface to be reflected back into space, then caught and causing global temperature increases. As a result, the ice began to melt the poles and increasing sea levels to drown some small island and the mainland to erode the surface.In addition, the high temperature is also an effect on wind flow will lead to the formation of typhoons and monsoon rains that severely worse than usual. The best example the world victims of climate change can be seen in a heat wave in Europe that lead to hundreds or perhaps thousands of deaths since 2000. Waves 'hot' this has caused the temperature in summer and winter in Europe is much higher than usual. Similar changes were also felt in tropical regions are facing severe monsoon season now, while countries like the United States was hit by snow storms and more severe hurricanes such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Whereas in 2006, ten countries most severely affected by natural disasters were the Philippines, South Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, Ethiopia, India, China, Afghanistan, the United States and Romania.The effect of this problem will continue to be prolonged and will continue to deteriorate if neglected or failed to control. Consequently, the next generation who will bear the full impact of the greed of the present generation of polluting the environment just to the wealth and economic progress.Effects on healthAny form of extreme change would have the most adverse effects on infants, children and the elderly are often seen to be the first victims of the disaster.a. Rakyat Malaysia may be able to adapt to high temperatures and sweltering as familiar with the tropical climate. However, ordinary people who live in cold climates may not be able to adapt and now recorded an increase in deaths from heat stroke.Heat stroke will cause the failure of all organs of the body to function, just like what happened to the patient's fever.b.Begitu well as pneumonia or inflammation of the lungs caused by bacteria that attack the widespread dissemination of the lung due to hot and humid weather and other factors.c.Sesetengah areas were faced with the problem of severe dehydration due to drought caused by heat waves and rising sea levels that contaminate fresh water with saline water from the sea.d.Peningkatan temperature will also promote the breeding of vectors (carriers of animal germs), such as rats, mosquitoes, ticks and pepijat.Penyebaran vectors such as mosquitoes causing diseases such as malaria, dengue and yellow fever first recorded in Europe and temperate areas that previously this sejuk.Hal evident from the cool temperate countries such as Nepal and Bhutan the first recorded cases of malaria in the highland areas of the two countries.e.Sementara, the rats are also seen to grow more easily in hot and humid weather of this. These animals can spread the illness and Legionellosis Leptopirosis which are spread by germs that are left with the urine (urine) or rat droppings.f.Ketika floods, the level of cleanliness is difficult to care and clean water, especially the sign. Difficulty in obtaining clean drinking water be exposed to contaminated water hemp variety kuman.Hal health would be threatened if water is used segai contaminated drinking water, cooking, washing or cleaning diri.Bilangan diarrhea, bloody diarrhea ( dysentery) and various water-borne diseases seen a sharp increase during the season banjir.Situasi was further compounded by the increase in mosquito-borne cases due to mosquito breeding in stagnant pool of water left by the flood currents. Water reservoir is a strategic place for germs to grow rapidly as it gets adequate food supply of plants and decaying animal carcasses.g. This issue also gives a bad impression to those who like to exercise and play outside. This is because greenhouse gases such as carbon monoxide present in the air more, especially in urban areas and areas with a lot of vehicles. When the gas is inhaled too much, during exercise or outdoor activities, causing a sudden fall of blood oxygen content and carbon monoxide gas that can affect many body and heart ..Measures to overcomeThe public is advised to drink lots of water to avoid heat stroke and dehydration while children and senior citizens need to find a shady place to carry out or break. In the face of climate change is increasingly uncertain world, the way the application should be appropriate to weather conditions to ensure that the body is not exposed to the weather is too hot or too cold for a long period. Given epidermiologi (distribution pattern) of specific diseases are also changing with the tide of global warming, the public should also be prepared to face more corpulent cases of common diseases such as dengue, malaria, diarrhea and certain diseases that have never encountered before.Besides cleanliness, the breeding vectors such as mosquitoes and rats should be controlled to prevent the spread of more diseases. Summit organized by the UN World Climate Change held in Bali, Indonesia from 3 to 14 December 2007 is expected to reach a consensus to save the earth and all creatures that inhabit it.Representatives from 190 countries have heard the argument many world renowned scientists who predict rising sea levels, droughts, floods and grab a devastating hurricane and now need to determine their direction for protecting the next generation.People also play an important role in pressing their leaders to be concerned with world peace and development not only concerned with themselves, without taking into account the pursuit of wealth due to the greed of the world. Responsibility for the environment should also be borne by all the world's population and should not be left to governments or organizations mata.Walaupun world, with only small contributions, such as not to make open burning and reduce the use of motor vehicles by as much as possible of the individual, to help control heating global.Despite the ambitions of the Kyoto Protocol to reduce carbon emissions 25 to 40 percent by 2020 rather difficult to achieve, but efforts should be intensified to ensure the future of human existence. Love and love our planet and the well being and harmony of life of future generations.

Global Warming & Greenhouse Gas: Developed Countries Must Act

For the period 1997 to 2008, emissions of carbon dioxide in the world due to the useof fossil fuels increased by 31 percent. Citizens of the world wants to 'speed' of global warming can be reduced.

It means that the amount of carbon dioxide should be reduced, because otherwise wewill face heavy pressure over again. Traveled life more difficult when the disasteroccurred and during post-disaster period. Billions and billions of dollars of lossessuffered due to the destruction of property and lives.

Many agricultural and fishery programs will be affected because of the dramaticseasonal changes in addition to threatening many species. All the world's oceansincreased by 1.5 inches. Global temperature will increase, thus lead to theincompatibility of the world community. Hundreds of blocks of ice from both poles of the earth to melt and affect global weather.

See how the phenomenon of the summer and more severe forest fires around the world, the United States (U.S.) to the west to Australia. Temperature last 12 years the world was found to be 0.4 degrees Celsius warmer than 12 years before 1997.

This frightening scenario of environmental citizenship. Ten years ago, meteorologicalscientists think climate change will not happen as bad as happens now, if no drastic action is taken, certainly more bad news related to the environment will follow later.

EARTH WARMING DUE TO NATURAL DISASTERS

Amsterdam # Amsterdam, Netherlands - The number of natural disasters in 2007 rosespectacularly, according to the International Red Cross. When compared with last year,the figure increased 20 percent recorded until October, the number of natural disastersreached more than 400. Each year 270 million people become victims of natural disasters in the world. In previous decades this figure was 240 million. Almost half ofthese natural disasters related to weather, world disasters report issued by the International Red Cross. Climate change summit currently taking place in Bali havereached an agreement about the reduction of CO2 greenhouse gases, which affectweather changes.

The Effects Of Global Warming - How To Live With Them. by Erik Leipoldt

Many effects of global warming are with us now. Rising temperatures and ocean levels. Melting glaciers and polar ice.

But do you know what these will mean to you? Or to your children?

And what you can do. You, tiny individual among 6 billion people.

Perhaps if we all had a clearer idea about the effects in our daily lives, we would try to do more about global warming. I am betting that more knowledge on this subject is a good thing, despite its shock-and-awe effects.

So, read on you brave learner!

Briefly, the effects of global warming include these:

* Extreme weather

* Rising oceans

* Food and water resources

* Human health

* Economic

* War and conflicts, and

* Further global warming

And each effect affects another, closely connected to the Earth's web of life.

Do you know that today's average surface temperature is up by about half a degree Celcius compared to temperatures in 1890? "Half a degree!" you exclaim. So what?

Well, if half a degree has the power to melt all the glaciers on five continents, as it is doing now, then what would the prediction of about five degrees by the end of this century mean to your daily life?

But you do not live near any glaciers you say. OK. Consider this:

Glaciers are the source of many of the great rivers that keep crops irrigated, provide water for drinking and washing and let you enjoy fishing and swimming.

"But I live in a city and when I want water I open a tap. For swimming I have the bath and as far as fishing is concerned there's the local fish shop!"

Right, I see. It is difficult to get you to feel uncomfortable with effects of global warming.

How about this then.

Many organisations are concerned about the effects. The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts as most likely a 3C rise in global surface temperature by 2050. The UK's chief scientific advisor Professor King has warned that such a rise would put some 400 million people at risk of starvation. Even the Pentagon, that least of all greenie organisations, wrote a report in 2004 that highlighted predictions of

* Severe water shortages

* Severe energy shortages

* Mega droughts and floods

* Nuclear conflict,

* Famine

* Widespread rioting

* Wars over water and energy resources

* At 150 million migrating environmental refugees

And these are suggested to occur in the next 20 years. Not too far away is it? Got your attention now?

These effects would be felt everywhere - even by city dwellers who have forgotten what a cow looks like.

Overwhelmed? Understandable, but don't be. Mother Earth needs all the practical people like you who commit themselves to action.

There are two levels at which you can do that. Change the way you think and do something every day. No matter how small.

Change the way you think.

We are in this mess because we have come to believe that there are no limits to energy resources and whatever the Earth can provide. Progress is about material things rather than how we get on - with ourselves, with others and with our environments.

Einstein said that you cannot solve problems with the same thinking that caused them. True. To change our ingrained thinking a practical step would be to engage with people who know how to live well under highly challenging circumstances. To build positive relationships with them would help.

Who are they then?

People with disabilities and frail aged people often know how to live a sustainable, even a flourishing life, despite their vulnerable situation. They have learned that our world is interdependent and wellbeing is made through getting on well with others.

So, come on. Make a far-travelling ripple in the pond by throwing your pebble of direct action today, whenever it crosses your path. Give someone a hand, a smile or a chat. It will change your mindset and may prove the Pentagon wrong on some scores at least if enough of us do that.

Make some practical changes

Small acts can have big results.

For example if everyone changed just one traditional 75W light bulb for an 18W compact fluorescent one for four hours a day this small action could reduce greenhouse emissions by millions of tonnes annually. Just 100,000 tonnes is equivalent to taking some 22,000 cars off the road!

So this act causes real ripples.

What else? Let's see.

* Dress warmly and turn your thermostat down a degree on cold days

* Close your blinds to keep the sun out on hot days

* Turn off lights when you do not need them

* Turn the computer off when not in use

* Walk or cycle rather than take the car

* Use public transport

* Buy an energy-efficient car

* Insist on energy-efficient housing design

* Reduce your shower time - or shower together (Mmm, well that may be counter productive)

* Buy energy-efficient rated appliances. And...

* Use your creativity to save energy where you can. There is so much you can do to reduce further global warming.

Over to you.

Let it ripple!
