When I was browsing the net about my past write-ups, I got something that I think I have to share to people most especially to my readers and friends.

What I am talking about is an information that I would like to share to all of you in this post. About the “Deadly by the Dozen”, the 12 diseases that global warming may worsen. If you had already browsed at my post in the month of May entitled “Climate change and Global Warming” you will see the future effects of global warming to the humanity and to all the living as well. Now in this post, I want to show more about that what I call the “Deadly by the Dozen”.

  • Bird flu
  • Babesiosis
  • Cholera
  • Ebola
  • Parasites (Baylisascaris procyoni)
  • Lyme Disease
  • Plague
  • Red tides
  • Rift Valley fever
  • Sleeping sickness
  • Tuberculosis
  • Yellow fever

To cut it short, if we are already experiencing so many problems nowadays, There will be a lot more to come. I’m sure it’s not yet too late if we will all act towards it. Each and everyone has his part and role in his habitat. Let us all act towards it.

Climate change is undeniably obvious. In some parts of Asia, people were surprised of the early arrival of storms when it is supposed to be extremely hot like in its last few years. China, Taiwan and Philippines are now experiencing storms and heavy rains. Climate change is just an effect of Global warming which is also caused by strong concentration of Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Human actions have effects on the level of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, which has other effects upon the system, Common greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and chlorofluorocarbons.

Future effects of Climate Change

  • Food and water shortages
  • Sea level rise and coastal inundation
  • Increased coastal and inland storm damage
  • Increase in regional flooding and droughts
  • Large increase in species extinction
  • Movement of disease-carrying insects into currently unaffected areas

When will we ever start implementing global warming solutions? By the time you’ll be able to observe the global warming effects for yourself, it might be too late for us to avoid disaster. Let’s not forget that greenhouse gases stay up in the atmosphere for a long time, and fighting this problem is more likely trying to stop a huge cargo ship—even after you stop the engines, it would take quite a while to make the ship stop. If we don’t take significant actions within this decade, the harmful effects of climate change might become seriously unpreventable.
