The expected impacts of the changing climate are likely to adversely affect the well being of all countries and particularly the poorest countries‚ some of which are in Africa. The changing climate has been manifested in the form of: increased severity and frequency of droughts; floods and storms; water stress‚ coastal erosion‚ and higher incidence of vector borne diseases among others. The resulting declines in

past century by about 0.4 ºC to 0.8 ºC. Recent studies show that the average surface temperature of the earth is likely to increase by 1.1°C to 6.4 °C by the end of the 21 century‚ with best estimate of 1.8 - 4.0 °C. The human activities such as land use/land cover changes‚ deforestation‚ draining of wet lands tend to alter the albedo of the earth surface which in turn influence the variations in the microclimatic elements such as rainfall‚ temperature‚ humidities‚ etc. Further‚ the process

Climate change has taken significant changes throughout the years on Earth. These changes have affected the in more than one way. A Simple way to describe Global warming would be to say that it refers to an average increase in the Earth’s temperature and this increase may cause changes in climate. As the Earth warms up it may lead to significant rise in sea levels‚ chaotic weather patterns‚ and catastrophic droughts. The issues of climate change around the world are caused by human activities.

impact the human health. The impact of the global warming on infectious diseases has been highlighted in this paper. The infectious diseases have been emphasized in two major classifications which are the water and the foodborne infectious diseases as well as the vector borne infectious diseases. Even if the global warming is not easy to solve‚ there are some methods should be taken to mitigate this phenomenon. The study has shown that the global warming has various negative effects on human health including

8-13-13 7- Acuity Climate Change What is climate change? Climate includes patterns of temperature‚ precipitation‚ humidity‚ wind and seasons. "Climate change" affects more than just a change in the weather‚ it refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time. These climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems‚ and the human economies and cultures that depend on them. Because so many systems are tied to climate‚ a change in climate can affect many related aspects

To put it in its simplest terms‚ climate change refers to the long term change in the earth’s temperature‚ particularly an increase in the average atmospheric temperature (Dictionary.com). Although there are some natural causes for climate change‚ most scientists are in agreement that humans are at least in part responsible for some of the effects we have already seen and must therefore take corrective action immediately to slow the process before it is too late and irreversible catastrophic damage
