Effects Of Global Warming On Human Health

Global warming is a globally recognized issue that has risen due to the emission of greenhouse gasses from man-made resources.  The rise in the earth’s temperature is continuous and it is expected to be more in the future coming years. The increasing global warming is affecting every life form on the Earth.  Due to global warming rivers are drying, waste glaciers are melting, green land is turning into barren lands, and dead seas or hypoxic seas are becoming common.  Due to climatic change there is no doubt some positive aspects seen on the earth like less intense winter in some local areas, besides there has become positive agricultural production seen in some cold areas where there was no food and crop production due to intense winter, but it, on the other hand, is rendering great loss to the health of human being and its food cultivation  

Respiratory And Cardiovascular Diseases:


Due to the high temperature, the volume of hydrocarbon and other pollutant gasses upsurge in the air that in turns cause the people to become the victim of cardiovascular diseases. The smog and other pollutants in the air directly cause respiratory disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Aeroallergen and the pollen at high and dry temperature trigger the attack of asthma in more than 3000million people annually.


Natural Disasters:

The change in temperature also has impacts on the geographical and physical condition of the earth. It has caused irregular rainfall pattern, drought in some part of the earth.  The severe drought and lack of rain in some areas lead to the freshwater crisis and loss of vegetation in some areas. The unusual rain pattern causes the world to encounter great disaster in the form of the tsunami, flood storm, and hurricanes which cause the loss of human life and valuable cattle; it also results in the loss of vegetation. Flood and disaster give birth to fatal epidemic diseases and several water-borne diseases that make a lot of people lose their life.

Global Warming Causes Vector-Borne Disease 

Global warming is also giving birth to many fatal diseases and also importing vector-borne diseases due to transmission of season and alternation of the geographical range of the planet earth.

Skin Ailments:


Ultraviolet radiations emitted by the sun are very harmful to human skin. The ozone layer protects the earth and its inhabitants from these harmful rays. Due to the global warming ozone layer is being destroyed perpetually and the ultraviolet radiation gets their direct exposure to the earth and its life from. The rays cause many skin diseases in a human being.  Direct exposure of the rays on the human skin causes skin cancer beside other skin complications.

Loss Of Human Vegetation  

The severe temperature has also led to the generation and introduction of non-friendly soil bacteria and pesticides invasions on the agricultural sites, the introduction of such foreign species in vegetation regions have led to the destruction of vegetation and crops. 

Serious and necessary steps should be taken by the entire globe’s states and individual to protect the earth from the increasing global warming and its increasing harmful effects. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses emitting vehicles, machines and industries should be diminished or at least lessened. More trees should be planted to make the environment purified from the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses
