Health related to climate change
The influence of climate change on health, even taking into account variables which impact indirectly on the organism are still unknown but is estimated that about one hundred and fifty thousand deaths worldwide are caused by global warming and this number is expected to increase even if the population is generally not receives this kind of danger. The main causes of deterioration of health conditions would be linked to malnutrition, allergies, infections, and then in poorer developing countries even yellow fever, dengue, malaria transmitted by mosquitoes which breed more easily because of the increased average temperatures, then individuals with asthma may suffer from the increasing pollution of air, regardless of weather phenomena (droughts, floods, cyclones..) which are becoming more aggressive and not very controllable.
