Climate and Human Health


            As I was reading up on information for my topic I found out that heat waves are now the largest natural cause human killer topping tornados, hurricanes and earthquakes. That's a pretty scary thing when you think about it since global warming is in part our faults. As the climate changes it brings along with it an increase in the intensity and frequency of heat waves and with this a drastic change on human health up to 2, 800 will die especially the elder, children and low-income population are at risk. Some scientists even say that a warmer world means a sicker world.
             Health Canada has identified eight major health concerns related to climate change, the include health effects from increased smog, illnesses and deaths caused be heat and cold waves, water and food borne contamination, diseases transmitted by bugs, health problems concerning the holes being created in the ozone would mean additional exposure to UV light that could lead up to 5,000 more deaths related to skin cancer and finally there is stress, the people who go through such changes go through a lot of stress and that's not good for anyone's health. .
             For some there might be an up side to climate changes but it wont cost a price, with winters becoming milder, there are likely to be up to 20,000 fewer cold-related deaths but this also means that there's a danger that bacteria would no longer die-off seasonally meaning that they may spread more widely.
             It is an awful thing to think about that just with an increase of temperature in the summer an extra 10,000 will die of food poisoning and with this augmentation of temperature it means that bacteria's or its carriers who before could not live in cold weather will be able now.
             We as humans need to start learning ways to prevent these things from happening to us and to our future children and their children and so on: if we do not have our health then we do not have anything, life is meaningless.
