Disease is on the Rise
As the world's temperature rises there will be
more and more disease. When the world gets warmer mosquitoes and
vermin will bring diseases to more and more places. Mosquito-borne
malaria is generally restricted to humid regions with an average
temperature of 61 degrees. Now about 45 percent of the world has an
average temperature of 61 degrees. Global warming in the range of 6
to 10 degrees would spread the disease to 60 percent of the
world.
The consequences are supposed to be more
devastating for less developed nations and the tropics. Today many
people in the tropical highlands are protected by their higher
elevations and cooler weather. In 1987 Rwanda had a two percent
increase in temperature and that led to a 337 percent increase in
malaria rates. Today malaria kills two million people a year.
According to a study in the Journal of the American Medical
Association, by the middle of the next century global warming could
cause and additional million malaria deaths every year.
Climate change is also increasing the range of
Aedes aegypti, the species of mosquito that carries both dengue and
yellow fever. A hot summer in 1995 led to 140,000 cases of dengue
fever from Argentina to Texas. Dengue fever is a disease that causes
fever, head and eye aches, and pain in the muscles and joints.
Symptoms of the disease appear three to six days after the
disease-bearing mosquito bites the victim. Dengue is found throughout
the tropics and sub-tropics.
The weather extremes caused by global warming
could lead to outbreaks of deadly hantavirus, the acute, often fatal
respiratory illness that recently killed 76 people
nationwide.
Another deadly threat is the resurgence of cholera
which thrives in the higher water temperatures of a warmer world. It
has already been found in the Chesapeake Bay. A 1991 cholera epidemic
in South America killed 5,000 people.
