Infectious diseases and death rates rise along with global temperatures
Global warming is not only a threat to our future health, it already contributes to more than 150,000 deaths and 5 million illnesses annually, according to a team of health and climate scientists at the World Health Organization and the University of Wisconsin at Madison—and those numbers could double by 2030.
Research data published in the journal Nature show that global warming may affect human health in a surprising number of ways: speeding the spread of infectious diseases such as malaria and dengue fever; creating conditions that lead to potentially fatal malnutrition and diarrhea; and increasing the likelihood of heat waves and floods.
Health Effects of Global Warming Hardest on Poor Nations According to the scientists, who have mapped the growing health impacts of global warming, the data show that global warming affects different regions in very different ways.

Comment:
Indeed, Global warming is a very hard case to solve.
It is hard to prevent for people don't cooperate. This is our own fault and no one else's.
We mustn't just stand and look while many people are dying because of our neglectfulness and carelessness. We must take an action to prevent the
possible calamities, tragedies, and the increase of death rates. The government is already making some programs and conduct some seminars that
explains what would probably happen if we won't move, but it's just useless because just right after the seminar, we forget about everything we discovered and just leave it to the government alone. We people can help in our own little ways.
One of the 'cause of global warming is the burning of plastic materials, so in stead of burning it, we could recycle it, at least we could limit the entry of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and at the same time, we will not waste the materials that was already used.

We should also make sure that the smoke that's coming out of our cars or motorcycles is clean. Cutting of trees should be lessen because they play an important role in preventing global warming. Factories are one of the great contributors in this issue.
Owners of factories must not concentrate only in making products, they should also be aware of what they are doing to mother nature.
Not only our world is affected with this phenomenon, humans are also threatened by some infectious diseases brought about by global temperatures.
What threatens me most is the possibility that some continents may sink as a result of melting glaciers and polar ice. So we must move as soon as possible. We must take some action before it's too late!!!
