Question

Climate Change and its impact on health?

Answer 1

If global warming continues at the pace it is occurring at, many diseases such as malaria, west Nile virus and even Ebola will become more dangerous. If you want more information, go on Al Gore's site www.climatecrisis.com

Answer 2

As the temperature on Earth rises, summers will become warmer, as will spring and winter.  Many people will have higher risks of getting skin cancer (espeically melanoma) during the summer months because there will be less ozone to filter the UV rays.  Heat stroke is another possible problem.  Heat stroke is becoming more common as the temperature has risen.

  And like the other person said, climate change can cause mosquitos and other disease carrying insects to flourish, increasing the amount of diseases.  Some insects that only come out in summer may be coming out in winter and spring since temperatures are warmer.

  Plants will flower earlier- since winters are warmer and spring is coming sooner. This may cause problems for people who have severe allergies to pollon.
