Climate change poses considerable public health risks in developed and underdeveloped countries. It affects human welfare by intensifying existing environmental stressors and introducing new threats to global health (CDC, 2020). The changing climate results in periods of temperature extremes worldwide, which cause disruptions in the infrastructure sector, agriculture, and ecosystems (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016). Extreme…

The perception of power is changing in the twenty-first century. It shifts from the country’s military potential to its ability to react to crises in a prompt manner. It is essential to note that the concept of crisis should not be viewed from the perspective of political or economic developments only. Instead, it has become…

Introduction Problem Statement Climate change is an acute problem that involves a number of harmful effects on the environment and living beings on Earth. The consequences include extreme weather events, rising maximum and minimum temperature, poor air and water quality, sea-level rise, heat waves, shrinking glaciers, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, health risks, and economic implications…

Introduction Climate change refers to the long-term transformation of regional climatic patterns. Warming unequivocally results from the high greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration in the atmosphere (Seo, 2017). The earth’s surface has significantly warmed following the industrial revolution, although some regions have experienced increased precipitation. If these changes are not mitigated to fall below or within…

We would like to point out our agreement with the fact that climate change is a real phenomenon, which, lately, became infested with the issues of politicization, which, subsequently, resulted in a massive disinformation problem (Van der Linden, Leiserowitz, Rosenthal, & Maibach, 2017). We can all agree that climate change is among the most important…

The environmental situation in China has become especially aggravated in recent years. It is due to the rapid pace of economic development with a predominance of the extensive type of development, when attention is paid to the rate of increase in production capacity and nature is viewed as a source of free resources. The crisis…

How Can Climate Change Potentially Impact Global Public Health? While seemingly tenuous, the connection between climate change and health challenges is, in fact, rather strong. Climate change is likely to lead to the destruction of a range of habitats, drop in the amount of drinkable water, the rise in air pollution, reduction in the amount…

Since the discovery of oil and the emergence of the petroleum industry, the human impact on nature and the environment has grown exponentially. It was the moment when humanity became an active partaker in climate change. As of now, the overall influence can be described as primarily negative. It is because “oil is a toxic…

Table of Contents Introduction Main body Conclusion References Introduction Scientists now agree that climate change is the result of human activity. Some of these activities include the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. Although many gases are emitted into the atmosphere that creates the greenhouse effect, carbon dioxide builds up and stays in the air…

Climate change is one of the most notable environmental problems that humanity is facing today. The United Nations (UN) defines it as ‘long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns’, which are affected by both natural cycles and human activities (United Nations). Global warming is one of the major consequences of climate change, and it occurs…
