Abstract

The current article provide the factual description for the impact of the human health from the anthropogenic climate change as well as the critical review to the related issues. Additionally, the management of the impacts have been critically analysed so as to give a practical suggestion to the policy makers.

From the conduction of the review to the existing literatures and documents, it can be concluded that two major climate related components, namely, global warming and intensified ultraviolet (UV) exposure, contribute the health issue, while the impacts of them have been discussed. First …show more content…

Nonetheless, human activity has affecting the ordinary pattern over the past century, while the anthropogenic climate has been formed. Due to the exponentially increase of population and the enlarging greediness of them, the resulted climate change challenged the human health. Actually, pollution, deforestation, extensive agriculture, consumption of fossil fuels, and industrialization are closely correlated to the climate change, and they, at the same time, are the necessities in supporting the infinite greediness of human (Weiss & Bradley, …show more content…

The heat waves caused by the imbalanced temperature would resulted the heat related deaths and illnesses, while the ill, the poor and the elderly would subject to the direct impact. The migration for the low and high latitude populations would be needed in according to the climate change, and it would greatly impact to their lifestyle, while the stress in different aspects would turn to the health problems eventually. Due to the scared land resource and drought / heavily rain caused by global warming, the food security would be deteriorated, especially for the developing countries. The prevalence of diseases and popularity of cancer would be resulted from the damage of immune system. All of them are impacting the human health in different

Water rising due to climate change is impacting people by causing islands to get flooded. This causes people to have to evacuate and find new homes, which can cause overpopulation in some cases (Doc G & H). Climate change is also impacting people because of health. The warmer temperatures cause there to be longer pollen seasons since the cold comes later and goes away sooner (Doc E). This makes for miserable and potentially dangerous summers for people who are allergic to pollen (Doc F).
