What is Climate
Change?
Climate change refers to long term changes
in temperature and weather patterns around
the world. While these changes can occur
naturally, human activities such as the
burning of fossil fuels are accelerating this
process significantly.
Causes of
Climate Change
The main cause of climate change is the
increase in greenhouse gas emissions
such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and
methane (CH4). The main sources include
the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation,
and intensive agriculture.
The effect of
climate
change
Environmental impacts of
Your paragraph text
climate change include rising
global temperatures, melting
polar ice caps, rising sea levels,
and changing weather patterns.
Impacts on human health
Climate change is already impacting human
health, leading to heat-related illnesses, the
spread of diseases, and increased vulnerability
to extreme weather events. Key impacts
include:

Heat Stress: Higher temperatures can lead to heat exhaustion,


heat stroke, and other heat-related illnesses[2] .
- Spread of Diseases: Climate change can expand the
geographic ranges of mosquitoes, ticks, and other disease-
carrying pests[2] .
- Increased Vulnerability to Extreme Weather: Extreme
weather events such as floods, droughts, and heat waves can
lead to injuries, deaths, and displacement[2] .
Impacts on extreme
weather and heat
Climate change is intensifying extreme
weather events, leading to direct health
impacts. Here are some key examples:

Heatwaves: Rising temperatures increase the risk


of heat stroke, dehydration, and cardiovascular
problems, especially among vulnerable
populations like the elderly, children, and those
with pre-existing conditions . [1]
- Floods: Flooding can cause drowning, injuries,
and displacement, leading to mental health issues
and exposure to contaminated water, increasing
the risk of waterborne diseases . [1]
- Storms: Hurricanes, tornadoes, and other severe
storms can cause injuries, displacement, and
disruption of essential services, leading to health
complications and mental health stress . [1]
Any clarification?
Quiz time:
1.can cause drowning, injuries.
(Heatwaves, floods)

2.this can lead to heat exhaustion.


(Spread of diseases, heat stress)

3.rising temperature increase the risk


of heat stroke. (Heatwaves, floods,
spread of diseases)
