Why diseases are caused by global warming?

Answer 1

Global warming is happening because the greenhouse effect traps the heat from the sun. Increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity releases carbon dioxide (CO2). This carbon dioxide has been hidden underground for 300 million years, so the carbon cycle is unable to cope with it all.

We can stop it by moving to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel).

Answer 2

global warming is when the earth's average level's or tempreature's rise.This occur's from greenhouse gases.it start's when sunlight energy from the sun reaches earth's atmosphere some of that heat is absorbed by the earth to warm itself up,this is done so that earth can sustain life,the excess is the radiated back out of the earth's atmosphere but the greenhouse gases will accidentally absorb some of the unneeded heat and reflect it back down to earth,making earth warmer than it needs to be,it is from here that earth will get hotter and melt away ice sheet's that are cooling our planet and keeping the poisonous gases from under the sea from coming up. as the earth get's hotter and hotter these ice sheet's will eventually start to melt,this is where sea level rise comes in the ice is then turned into water and joins the oceans water making the sea level rise.there are alot more connections from here but ima stop lol

Answer 3

Because global warming causes the temperature to rise which creates a perfect environment for rodents and mosquitoes that are known to carry enfectious and fatal diseases that can be transfered to humans.

Answer 4

Basically when you change the environment you change breeding habits, you change how efficiently people work: you are also changing how diseases are spread. They are not "because of global warming" but they are modified in intensity because of it. There are no diseases "caused by" global warming.

Avian influenza - from birds. When they change migratory patterns - IF - they are carrying a disease found in 2 locales you might find the new disease in three or more areas.

Tick born diseases. When average rainfall totals in a biome change, so do tick and mosquito populations. There are also diseases carried by mosquitoes and flies in certain parts of the world which can also be affected by this change in climate.

Diseases from inadaquate water or food (Encyclopedia of Medical Anthropology) This would be Ecoli, Cholera, for example which is due to inadaquate processing, storage and transport of food.

Emerging Infectious Diseases. (2004). In Encyclopedia of Medical Anthropology: Health and Illness in the World's Cultures.

Answer 5

Warmer climate means that malaria-carrying mosquitoes can survive much further away from the equator than before.

Answer 6

Avian influenza, babesiosis, cholera, ebola, intestinal and external parasites, lyme disease, Plague, Red tides, Rift valley fever, sleeping sickness, Tubercolosis, yellow fever
