Global Warming Caused Disaster

Global warming is causing a big disaster for the health. Countries in tropical regions most prone to the effects of global warming.

Concern for the health effects it is voiced dozens of professionals who are members of health organizations in the world. They expressed concern, among others through publication in the journal The Lancet and British Medical Journal, recently.
 
In the publication, physicians and other health professionals view, the failure to reach agreement on climate change negotiations in Copenhagen will bring a global health disaster. Tropical countries, mostly developing countries, with an already alarming state of health, will receive the greatest result.

Various diseases
According to public health experts from the Environmental Health Department of Public Health Faculty, University of Indonesia, I Made Jaya, last week, global warming is the result of a series of intertwined phenomena, such as population growth, increasing demand for natural resources, industrialization, fuel consumption, emissions, increased temperatures, melting ice, the higher water vapor, and the monsoon winds change direction.

He gave an example, with global warming, the greater the amplitude of the temperature. In the afternoon, the temperature can be much hotter and colder at night, depending on the region. The condition that only causes resistance to decrease and the human body easily susceptible to contracting the disease.

Even more alarming, the spread of disease caused by the changing seasons. In the past, chickenpox usually in September and October. Log in rainy season, the growth of fungi and viruses more easily. But now, there are year-round case.

Scarcity of water resources due to irregularities season and the failure of water management will affect the food shortages and malnutrition diseases. Disease agents also easily mutate. This, for example, seen by the emergence of cases of bird flu and influenza A (H1N1). Corona virus, for example, mutated so that the cause of SARS. Many of the region warms up so that disease-carrying parasites such as mosquitoes, spread to new areas that are not ready with the arrival of the carrier of the disease.

Global warming is the result of a series of intertwined phenomena, such as population growth, increasing demand for natural resources, industrialization, fuel consumption, emissions, rising temperatures, melting ice, the higher water vapor, and the change of monsoon wind direction.

This is impossible considering we remove these factors is a series of human life lived. We can only look for other alternatives in reducing global warming. For example, in Industrialization and fuel consumption, we should menggukanan alternative fuels such as environmentally friendly Solar for example.

Then on the use of natural resources, we should use it wisely. Not in a wasteful use of paper (recycled paper), to process wood waste into useful items again, reduce the use of plastic (with manufacturer of plastic so will make its production and use of recycled plastics as well).
