Climate Change and Effects on Health

Earth's climate has changed naturally many times throughout the geological history. However, after the industrial revolution there exists a rising trend in temperature records due to increasing greenhouse effect, which is resulted from fossil fuel emissions and other synthetic greenhouse gasses emissions. Greenhouse effect changes heat capacity of atmosphere that causes temperature and precipitation anomalies and ultimately climate change. The effects of climate change will be seen in ecosystems, in social and economical life and in land use. Moreover, there are direct and indirect health effects of climate change on humans. Mortality depending on heat waves, respiratory and cardiovascular disease and infectious disease are the health problem resulted from climate change.
