Effects of Global Warming - Effects of Global Warming - How Diseases Spread Due to Global Warming
Posted by Rolf Joho on May 14th, 2010 filed in Effects of Global Warming
What happened in New Mexico in 1993 is good enough for anyone to understand how deeply we are affected due to global warming. In the spring of the same year, many people died of an unknown disease that attacked on respiratory system of individuals. As per statistics, 413 people lost their lives in 1993 due to outbreak of an unknown virus. Later on scientists discovered that it was a result of a virus named Hantavirus.
Hantavirus was a result of six consecutive droughts and heavy rains in New Mexico. A sudden climate change in the climate of New Mexico facilitated this virus spread easily throughout the country. Scientists now believe that 1993 epidemic can be considered as instigation of consequences of global warming.
This is good to understand that a warmer climate facilitates many viruses and insects to spread easily. A warmer climate followed by torrential downpours helps insects as well that carry dangerous diseases like dengue and yellow fever. As a proof of this estimation, Africa and South America have reported outbreak of many unknown viruses in the recent past. As per the climate change model, even a small rise in regional temperature helps insects like mosquitoes to carry dengue virus more efficiently.
These are only a few instances to indicate that we need to put our efforts to control global warming immediately. To do so, first we need to understand the whole process as in how many ways we can get affected by global warming and how we can change our lifestyle to control global warming.
I suggest going through some website that can help you in this. I consider Consequences of Global Warming as a good recourse of information to know in details about the consequences of global warming on different countries.

Global Warming & the Greenhouse EffectStudents explore this crucial topic in a wide variety of formats, from hands-on science activities and experiments to a simulation game, analysis of articles, a story about an island threatened by rising sea levels, and a world conference on global warming. The unit helps students see environmental problems from different points of view. Extensive background for the teacher is provided.
Crops And Environmental Change: An Introduction To Effects Of Global Warming, Increasing Atmospheric CO2 And O3 Concentrations, And Soil Salinization On Crop Physiology And YieldExamine important global environmental changes that will affect the future of agriculture! Here is a complete introduction to the influence of global environmental changes on the structure, function, and harvestable yield of major field crops. It gives you an in-depth look at the effects of climate change, air pollution, and soil salinization. The book provides an introduction to the ramifications, both positive and negative, of these ongoing environmental changes for present and future crop production and food supply.
Crops and Environmental Change: An Introduction to Effects of Global Warming, Increasing Atmospheric CO2 and O3 Concentrations, and Soil Salinization on Crop Physiology and Yield integrates a discussion of the physiological effects of environmental change with background information on basic topics in plant physiology. Numerous charts, tables, and figures are included to assist in understanding the empirical effects of the environment on crops.
Topics addressed in Crops and Environmental Change include:
- the effects of increasing global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration
- climatic changes associated with increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases
- the effects of increasing ozone concentrations in the lower atmosphere across large crop-growing regions
- soil salinization in areas of irrigated crops
- the causes and trajectories of ongoing environmental changes
- the implications of environmental changes on the future of crop production
- and much more!
Global Warming and Greenhouse Effect Lab ActivityGlobal Warming and Greenhouse Effect Lab Activity - Students study the causes of global warming, investigate the effect of different surfaces on heat absorption and greenhouse gases, and examine carbon dioxide absorption of infrared radiation as compared to air. -- Armed with insight gained from these activities, they are challenged to come up with possible ways to reduce the greenhouse effect on our planet. -- Includes materials for five student groups and study guides. Requires support stand and clamp lamp, available separately.
