Climate change accelerates the spread of disease.

Reason: Warmer temperatures enlarge the geographic range in which disease-carrying animals, insects and microorganisms--as well as the germs and viruses they carry--can survive.

Analysts believe that, as a result of global temperature rises, diseases that were previously limited only to tropical areas may show up increasingly in other, previously cooler areas.

How does global warming affect elephants?

Global warming can affect elephants by changing their habitat, leading to loss of food sources and water availability. It can also increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, which can be detrimental to elephant populations. Additionally, rising temperatures can contribute to the spread of diseases that may impact elephant health.


Does global warming affect the planet?

Yes, the word global means all over the earth. Global warming will warm the atmosphere all over the earth. Though it is caused mainly in several large countries, wind and weather will spread the heat all round.


Is there a connection of A H1N1 and global warming?

The tolerance of human swine influenza is higher and less serious in terms of danger to health than global warming. Global warming is the increase in the avergae temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Swine influenza affects a vast population of the humans and clearly does not have any relation to global warming as yet.

Does global warming have an impact on smallpox?

The World Health Organization certified the eradication of smallpox in 1979. Earlier during the 20th century smallpox claimed the lives up up to half a billion people. Since the only smallpox virus samples left remain in US and Russian bioweapon laboratories, the answer is no, global warming has no impact on smallpox. However, were weaponized strains to be released, the warmer temperatures would help accelerate the spread of the disease.


How does global warming affect insects?

Warming is because of rise in temperature.Rise in emperature causes shortening of life cycle and hence increase in number of insects. Some recent studies also say that the tropical insects are at the edge of their thermal limits. Further increase in temperature will lead to their extinction


How does global warming affect water pollution or aid it?

Water pollution is bad and comes from the dumping into our waters debris that causes poisons to be added. This is a man created event that kills everything that connects with this water. If global warming were occurring, the theory would follow that this water would be diluted with melting ice. The issues with the theory is hat we can't say that it happens as ice is building in the South and has started again in the arctic. We would need to test the theory with actual warming... which, of course, we can not without that warming.


Why is knowing about global warming helpful?

If we understand the causes and effects of global warming then we can change our behaviour to reduce these effects. We can also talk to our friends and family so that more people can spread the message to change our behaviour.
