Explanation:
Climate change has important consequences on human health.
The observed and projected increased frequency and severity of cli
mate related impacts will further exacerbate the effects on human health.The climate crisis affects environmental degradation, diseases carried by vectors, food and waterborne infections, food security and mental health and stress, among others, all which directly impact human health
The human body requires evaporative cooling to prevent overheating, even with a low activity level. With excessive ambient heat and humidity, adequate evaporative cooling does not take place. Human thermoregulatory capacity is exceeded.
Warming oceans and a changing climate are resulting in extreme weather patterns which have brought about an increase of infectious diseases—both new and re-emerging.[These extreme weather patterns are creating extended rainy seasons in some areas,[14] and extended periods of drought in others,[15] as well as introducing new climates to different regions.[15] These extended seasons are creating climates that are able to sustain vectors for longer periods of time, allowing them to multiply rapidly, and also creating climates that are allowing the introduction and survival of new vectors.
Our agricultural food system is responsible for a significant amount of the greenhouse-gas emissions that are produced.
According to the IPCC, it makes up between, at least, 10-12% of the emissions, and when there are changes in land due to the agriculture, it can even rise as high as 17%. More specifically, emissions from farms, such as nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide, are the main culprits, and can be held accountable for up to half of the greenhouse-gases produced by the overall food industry, or 80% of all emissions just within agriculture.
The types of farm animals, as well as the food they supply can be put into two categories: monogastric and ruminant. Typically, beef and dairy, in other words, ruminant products, rank high in greenhouse-gas emissions; monogastric, or pigs and poultry-related foods, are low. The consumption of the monogastric types, therefore, yield less emissions. This is due to the fact that these types of animals have a higher feed-conversion efficiency, and also do not produce any methane.
