EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming has profound effects on our planet, leading to longer summers and shorter winters, which pose significant health risks to vulnerable groups such as the elderly and young children. The increase in heat waves exacerbates respiratory problems and asthma. Additionally, climate change enhances the spread of diseases like malaria, dengue, and cholera. Changes in precipitation lead to droughts and flooding, particularly affecting regions like China. Warmer oceans intensify hurricanes and storms. Understanding these impacts is crucial for mitigating future challenges.
