GLOBAL WARMING AND DISEASE

by SUNAINA
(TAMILNADU)

Global warming is warming of the earth's atmosphere, and due to this, the sea level rises and causes several other problems.

The heat in the atmosphere is increased to a greater extent and because of this, diseases like cancer and other killing diseases spread far and wide, even.

Heat Effects

There is a great impact in the weather, where rainfall is shortened, and also we can expect to see terrible tornadoes and storms occurring - weather forecasting becomes difficult.

Due to the rise in sea levels the regions around the seas get submerged and vanish completely.

Barry's Response - Thank you Sunaina. You have every right to express your concern.

People have been afraid of these very consequences of global warming and more.

Overview

We shall see a change in the average global temperature, for sure, as much of the evidence presented to date has shown already occurred. Here, we look at the big picture, and long term changes. Some individual years may show a relative small decrease, but never mind that noise the overall (decade by decade) change has been consistently upward.

We have seen, over a longer period of time, a reduction in the difference between day and night temperatures in many areas. This is a much smaller trend and seems to have decreased over recent decades.

Scientists have found ways of comparing the effects of today's climate with the effects of past climates, using tree rings and core samples for instance. It takes a great amount of study to understand this data but it's worth it. These records go back further in time than human recordings and they can be found in areas where it is not practical to set up stations. This makes it even more worthwhile to use these methods, and to understand the effects of climate change in the first place.

There's a lot of concern about disease and climate. It's time for a thoughtful discussion.

Hold on a sec...

- Is climate change nothing new?
- Do diseases always spread?
- Innovation has always found a way to adapt, right?

Is global warming spreading diseases? Scientists say rising temperatures will expand tropical disease zones, cause more pandemics, and overwhelm healthcare. Let's take a look at historical climate shifts:
- In the Medieval Warm Period (900-1300 AD), it was warmer than today, but civilization flourished.
- There were plagues and famines during the Little Ice Age. Cold kills more people than heat.

How do diseases spread?
- The movement of people around the world.
- Climate doesn't matter. In the U.S., public health measures wiped out malaria, not climate change.
- Medicine & money. Diseases are a problem in poor societies.

Temperature increases mean longer growing seasons, more food, and more resilience. Famine, sickness, and mass migration are caused by the cold.

Do you have a solution

There's no solution in taxes
- Instead of panicking, let's apply real economic principles.
- Healthcare, infrastructure, and innovation = prosperity, according to Adam Smith. Wealth control disease. Poor people suffer.
- Solutions are driven by markets. Pharmaceuticals, air purification, and healthcare tech are all improving because of capitalism, not government mandates.
- Technology won't limit us, we'll adapt.

Rather than seeing climate change as a global health crisis, let's see it as a challenge

Truth in the Air: Science Without Politics

No fear, real science, and real solutions to local problems provided by understanding Air quality modelling and not just CO2 hype. This is a powerful way to get cleaner environments. And cleaner environments propagate prosperity. Climate doomsday starts when you lose sustainability.

Final thoughts
Real science should be brought in, and market-driven solutions should be offered.
- Humor and historical insights will engage readers.
- Don't just focus on CO2.
- Markets innovate, bureaucracies stagnate.
