Health Impacted by Climate Change

Pearl GomezLeave a commentImpacts

In this section, we will be talking about the impacts of climate change on our overall health. The following are several health-concerns made even more dangerous due to exposure to the negative effects of global warming.

Heatstroke
Respiratory diseases
Skin cancer

Heatstroke can affect virtually almost anyone. Excessive exposure to heat and sunlight can cause damaging and lasting effects. Even younger people can succumb to this and not just adults in their 40s. Additionally, respiratory diseases like asthma are mostly aggravated by the intensive heat brought about by global warming.

Climate Change Impacts on Ecosystems

Pearl GomezLeave a commentImpacts

Natural ecosystems are our main source of resources and nutrition. It is a place where biotic and abiotic factors coexist through a system surrounded by nutrient cycles and energy flows. In these settings, living things grow, thrive, and repopulate. Just like humans, they grow in clusters called habitats depending on their environment and status within the food chain.
But how is this possible?
Animals are keener and more capable of identifying significant changes better than most humans. They can feel the air pressure and detect natural gasses more quickly than ours which accordingly, makes it possible for them to flee or …

Proof of Climate Change

According to NASA Climate Change, the global sea level has significantly increased in the last two decades. This is due to global warming caused by an even longer chain reaction that started with the birth of industrialization. As a result, communities living near coastal areas and populated areas situated within or near the catch basins during flooding, landslides, and tsunamis.
The following are also deemed to be shreds of evidence of climate change:

Longer periods of drought
Wildfires
An annual increase of tropical storms
Ocean temperature
Humidity in certain parts of the globe…

Predicting the Climate

Technology made it possible for us to predict an upcoming phenomenon taking place.  For example, the Climate. This is important especially for somebody living near the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Climate can be predicted in two ways:
Climate Models
According to NASA, scientists use Climate Models to predict and track climate. These computer-generated programs record past and current atmospheric events. It is where long logs of observations are being kept to guide them in making predictions, formulating solutions, and disseminating information for worrying areas in times of typhoons, dry seasons, and rainy seasons.

Why Humans Are the Cause

Pearl GomezLeave a commentScience

There exists a lot of reasons why humans are the very cause of environmental deterioration. This includes population explosion, industrialization, extensive carbon emission, and ignoring nature’s pleas for help.
The rapid increase in population cripples the economy. It can also affect the number of resources needed when it comes to the manufacturing of materials and food production. This is why preservation additives and Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs are created to help solve global hunger for millions of people around the globe. As a result, it disrupts the natural growth and development of plants and animals and …
