Climate change is creating vulnerability. Sewage treatment plants are susceptible to major failures and overflows because of rising seas‚ more intense coastal storms‚ and increased heavy precipitation events. In 2012‚ Climate Central’s comprehensive analysis of sea level rise‚ stated more than two-thirds of costal locations in the U.S. will be affected by global warming that has more than doubled the chances of a hundred year storm surge occurring within the next year.

Anthropologic climate change in Chile and Argentina has been a vital problem since the turn of the 19th century. With a steady rise in temperature‚ climate change has had a significant effect on this region’s culture‚ economy‚ and social structure. Without the necessary precautions‚ this effect will only continue to increase at an exponential rate‚ causing further irreparable damage and degradation (Barros‚ 2014). There are many causes of anthropologic climate change in Chile and Argentina‚ but perhaps

Effects of climate change on Great Barrier Reek Rising sea temperature Rising sea temperatures have adverse effects on the Great Barrier Reef (Johnson and Marshal 2007). According to Johanna and Marshal (2007)‚ increased temperature has a significant role in destroying aquatic life because sea animals have a particular body heat limit to survive in the ocean. As a result of enhanced heat‚ this limit has extended beyond that limit (Laugh and Hobdy 2011). For example‚ 8 years ago summer weather was

Current Status of Malaria Vaccinology In order to assess the current status of malaria vaccinology one must first take an overview of the whole of the whole disease. One must understand the disease and its enormity on a global basis. Malaria is a protozoan disease of which over 150 million cases are reported per annum. In tropical Africa alone more than 1 million children under the age of fourteen die each year from Malaria. From these figures it is easy to see that eradication of this disease

In current society‚ malaria has played a significant role in children who died before the age of five. Over the past century‚ average life expectancy has more than doubled. However‚ there were 135 million children who were born five years ago‚ approximately 10 million of them died before the age of five (Bill Gates‚ 2009). The essay will focus on the reason and solution‚ and then give some recommendations. The mosquito is the main reason to cause malaria. More specifically‚ mosquitoes transmit

Malaria Disease The Malaria disease made its first appearance more than 4000 years ago. It used to be one of the diseases that people feared the most. About 655‚000 people die from Malaria in 2010‚ about 200 people per day. In that year‚ 90% of the deaths occurred in the WHO region‚ Africa. Most of the Africans were women and children under the age of 5. (World Heath Organization‚ 2012) First of all‚ to know that u have Malaria‚ your body will start acting strange.
