The Science and Impacts of Climate Change on the Maldives Science of global warming and climate change Anthropogenicly produced greenhouse gases has exacerbated global warming. The burning of fossil fuels and deforestation have resulted in almost doubling the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. The concentration of CO2 has increased at a rate of 2.0 ppm/yr.‚ which is much faster than in pre-industrial times (1). This greenhouse gas absorbs long wave radiation heat emanated away from the earth which

MALARIA Malaria is a parasitic disease that involves high fevers‚ shaking chills‚ flu-like symptoms‚ and anemia. CAUSES: Malaria is caused by a parasite that is transmitted from one human to another by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. In humans‚ the parasites (called sporozoites) travel to the liver‚ where they mature and release another form‚ the merozoites. These enter the bloodstream and infect the red blood cells. The parasites multiply inside the red blood cells‚ which then
