Health in the Heat: The Effects of Global Warming Global warming, primarily driven by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, is one of the most pressing issues of our time. It has far-reaching impacts on the environment, biodiversity, and human health. As global temperatures rise, the health effects become more pronounced and multifaceted. This article delves into the various ways global warming affects human health, exploring both direct and indirect consequences, and emphasizes the urgency of addressing this global challenge. What is Global Warming ? Global warming refers to the long-term rise in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect. Since the industrial revolution, the concentration of GHGs in the atmosphere has increased dramatic...
