‘The Implications For Health In Global Warming’ This essay will discuss global warming and the degree to which it will negatively affect people’s health and well being. Negative global warming related health effects will vary greatly due to geographical location and socio-economic status. Generally developed countries will be far better placed to confront the health challenges of climate change‚ than the developing word that already experiences a lower average state of health and less developed

[pic] Introduction Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. In principle‚ global warming is neutral as to the period or causes‚ but in both common and scientific usage the term generally refers to recent warming and implies a human influence. Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic

Global Warming Global Warming is described as the progressive gradual rise of the earth’s surface temperature thought to be caused by the alterations to the greenhouse effect and responsible for changes in global climate patterns. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earth’s surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere‚ causing the atmosphere to become warmer. This whole process occurs naturally and has kept the Earth’s temperature about 59 degrees
