What are the lines of evidence for human impact on global climate change?
Answers
Climate change will have various effects on human health. Direct effects can be listed as increased heat stress, asthma, and other cardiovascular and respiratory problems. Indirect effects are likely to include climbed incidence of communicable health problems, increases mortality and injury due to increased numbers and magnitudes of natural disastaers (floods, forest fires, etc.).
A sea-level rise will have major effects on coastal areas (such as Bangladesh). A large portion of the human population settles in coastal areas. Approximately a quarter of Bangladesh population lives in areas below 3 meters above mean sea level. Estimates of sea-level rise in this region due to a combination of land subsidence and global climate change are 1 meter by the year 2050 and 2 meters by the end of this century. The effect of global climate change on Bangladesh would be devastating.
