The diseases of global warming

As the temperature continues to rise, we can expect an increase in the prevalence and spread of various infectious diseases around the globe

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in the USA (IPCC) published a report last April, in which it specifically states that as the temperature continues to rise, we can expect an increase in the prevalence and spread of various infectious diseases around the globe. This theory was presented at several scientific conferences held around the world (in Australia, Canada, Great Britain and the USA), but the IPCC already presents it as a real threat.
One of the clear examples given by the committee is taken from Africa: in areas plagued by malaria there are islands of hope and they are the mountains. In the mountains the low temperatures prevent the mosquitoes (and the mosquitoes) from living a normal life and thus the disease does not reach the mountains. As global warming continues, the temperature in the mountains will reach a certain threshold value from which the mosquitoes will be able to transmit the disease to humans.
But not only the malaria is in danger of spreading, but also the seasonal flu. In tropical regions, the flu attacks all year round and not just in the winter, unlike what happens here. The committee points out that the more areas in the world lose the orderly appearance of the "seasons", as sometimes seems to happen here, the more areas in the world will suffer from the flu for the entire year.
The theoretical model says that any abnormality in the "behavior" of the weather, whether it is permanent or temporary, can cause the appearance of new diseases in the same area. The committee, on the other hand, focuses on permanent changes in the global climate, such as the spread of the tropical climate found around the equator to new areas (according to this forecast, a tropical climate could also reach us). The committee did not refer to more extreme theories that have come up in the past, in which it is not about the spread of existing diseases to new regions, but about the emergence of new strains of disease-causing agents (mainly viruses) in areas where permanent climate changes occur.
So far no evidence has been found to fear that a mass migration of diseases has begun, but if global warming continues, it is likely that we will all have to deal with them before we face the next ice age.  
An international committee has determined that carbon dioxide emissions must be cut significantly by 2050 

 

It is enough for the temperature to rise by two degrees so that the whole world will suffer from climate hazards and up to 30% of the species will be in danger of extinction 

 

deny the warming 

 

Now it is certain - the Earth is warming, states the UN panel on climate change

  1. Interesting, but why don't they do it at brides?

    I suggest that they use the smoke from the factories, from the cars in short

    From all the chemical smoke!!!
