Climate change will make Americans more vulnerable to diseases,
disasters and heat waves, but governments have done little to plan
for
the added burden on the health system, according to a new study by
a nonprofit group.
The study, released Monday by the Trust for America's Health, an
advocacy group focused on disease prevention, examines the
public-health implications of climate change.
In addition to pushing up sea levels and shrinking Arctic ice, the
report says, a warming planet is likely to leave more people sick,
short of breath or underfed.
Experts involved with the study said that these threats might be
reduced if the federal government adopts a cap on greenhouse-gas
emissions.
But no legislation could stop them altogether, they said. Emissions
already in the atmosphere are expected to increase warming -- and
the problems that come with it -- for years to come.
"That [a cap on greenhouse gases] really is not enough," said
Phyllis Cuttino of the Pew Environment Group, which funded the
study.
"We can see all these problems coming, but as a country, we haven't
done enough to prepare for them."
The idea that climate change will be bad for people as well as
polar bears is not new:
It was explained in detail by a United Nations panel that won the
Nobel Peace Prize for its work on climate in 2007.
Monday's report summarized some of the biggest worries for
Americans in particular.
They included:
-- Heat waves, which the report says are expected to increase. The
danger is expected to be worst, the report said, in concrete-clad
cities, where the lack of greenery creates an "urban heat island."
Under climate change, the experts said, summer heat could also
sneak up on people in cities where air conditioning hasn't been
needed in the past.
-- More "extreme weather events," such as hurricanes, floods and
wildfire-breeding droughts. Drought could also create crop
failures, the report said, leading to malnutrition.
-- More widespread diseases carried by mosquitoes, ticks and other
pests. If warmer temperatures allow these animals to expand their
ranges northward, the result could be more cases of West Nile
virus, Lyme disease and hantavirus.
-- Increased air pollution, caused because heat contributes to the
formation of smog. This, the report said, could increase the
incidence
of severe asthma or pulmonary disease.

Watch out for a plague of (WT) ² during the coming
weeks as we approach a new international
convention on economic suicide.
It is shorthand for Worse Than Was Thought.
Suddenly, it is urgent. We have only ten years to
save the shellfish.
Strange how such things always become urgent just
before one of these international jollies.
No doubt infidels will come up with various
quibbles, such as the dreaded gas being less
soluble in the supposedly warming waters or the
negligible proportion of it that is being produced
by humans or the relatively smallness of the
change in the partial pressure of said terror gas.
More to come, no doubt!

"It is a remarkable fact that despite the
worldwide expenditure of perhaps US$50 billion
since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands
of scientists worldwide, no human climate signal
has yet been detected that is distinct from
natural variation."

Wildfires are not lit by droughts. They are
natural seasonal occurences by which nature
clears the underbrush. A so-called
environmental protection group convinced
California to let the brush grow and they
have been paying the price for their stupidity.
Drought could also create crop failures,
[quote]the report said, leading to malnutrition.
-- More widespread diseases carried by mosquitoes, ticks and other
pests. If warmer temperatures allow these animals to expand their
ranges northward, the result could be more cases of West Nile virus,
Lyme disease and hantavirus.

formation of smog. This, the report said, could increase the incidence

Another red herring of no value
In real science the burden of proof is always on
the proposer, never on the sceptics. So far
neither IPCC nor anyone else has provided one
iota of valid data for global warming nor have
they provided data that climate change is being
effected by commerce and industry, and not by
natural phenomena. |

affect global climate is not based on the facts.
