While other planets in the Earth's solar system are either scorching hot or bitterly cold, Earth's surface has relatively mild and stable temperatures. Earth enjoys most of these temperatures because of it's atmosphere which is the thin layer of gases that cloak and protect the planet. However, most scientists agree that humans have changed the Earth's atmosphere in dramatic ways over the past centuries and this has led to global warming.
Green house gases which include carbondioxide , nitrous oxide , methane , water vapour and many others act as a blanket which absorbs strong radiations such as ultraviolet and infrared radiation and preventing these gases from escaping into the outer space. Health impacts of temperature extremes, specificallyof heat waves can be a killer. This is because it can lead to multiplication of tropical diseases and pests to new land which did not have them before. Furthermore, global warming increases the occurrence of extreme weather events . Including severe storms , floods and droughts. Potential for change in the seasonal patterns in geographical distribution of some vector-borne diseases thereby affecting the health of the environment. However, a moist atmosphere also holds more moisture so the chance of extreme rainfall and flooding continues to rise in some regions with rain storm surges and coastal flooding. From the information presented here and many other we often come across , it can clearly be seen that that global warming has alot of effects on the health of the environment. |

Hello Bwalya
Global warming is an environmental issue that needs global attention and participation to slow down its pace and recover the degradation that has happened throughout recent years.
This is a responsibility that each and every participant of this world share and hope that this year we would be able to keep it better than before :)
Thanks for the report!

Hello Bwalya, though climate change itself cannot be triggered solely by global warming, it is true that it is one of the main factors that increase climate risks in our globe. Chemical components of our atmosphere are diverse and differ from region to region in minute level but overall integrity of atmosphere tells us that we have too much greenhouse gases in our air.
Though they are invisible to our naked eyes, we have to face the fact that we are killing ourselves 'without notice'.
Thanks for your report!

We must search alternative for such toxic and harmful gaese.
Thank you for your report.

Global warming is indeed the global problem. The temperature of earth has increased seriously in the recent years. The green house gases have been contributing to climate change too. The recent report released also suggest to reduce the the green house gases.
This has surely affected the environment and health of the people and living beings too.
Thank you for your beautiful report Bwalya.
Keep writing great reports.
Green Cheers :)
