Relationship Between Climate And Disease From A Global Perspective
Climate change refers to a long term shift in weather conditions and patterns of exetreme weather events.
Today,evidence that the Earth climate is changing is leading researchers to view the long-standing relationship between climate and disease from a global perspective.Increase in atmospheric and surface temperatures are already contributing to the worlwide burden of disease and premature deaths, and are anticipated to influence the transmission dynamics goegraphic distribution of malaria, fever and cholera. Global warming is also accelerating the worldwide hydrological cycle, increasing the intensity, frequency, and duration of droughts; heavy precipitation events; and flooding . Such extreme weather events have been increasing and have been linked to global warming . These weather events may, in turn, contribute to and increase the risk for a wide range of vector- and non-vector-borne diseases in humans, plants, and animals .

Thank you for this contribution - can you tell us where you have found your evidence? It's also important to not just take information off the internet, but also give your own opinions and questions in posts, so we have something to discuss.

Okay sir

This has got me thinking - how do you think scientists (and others) around the world are able to research and record the relationship between climate change and disease?

This happens when the ozone layer is destroyed due to excessive burning of rubbish.When the ozone layer is destroyed it releases most extreme weathers.
Which extreme weather does the ozone layer releases?

I agree with content engineer, because with the ozone layer
destroyed the heat is getting worse which might bring fast climate-change.look at the North Pole ice cub it's mealting.
Is the North pole cold or hot?
