Anti-heat is also against disease

According to new studies in the medical journal The Lancet (UK), cutting emissions causing greenhouse effects not only saves the Earth but also improves people's health. Reducing the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere also reduces the number of deaths from heart and lung diseases.

These studies have examined the threat of climate change in the areas of electricity production, energy use in living, transportation and food agriculture in high-income national groups. and low. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the study proposes changes in daily activities such as increased walking and cycling and reducing meat consumption.

The study calculates that switching to less polluting cars in London (UK) and Delhi (India) will help regain 160 years of reduced life expectancy for every million people in London and nearly 1,700 years of life. for every million Indians. If there is a reduction in cars but more walking and cycling, this figure will reach more than 7,300 years of life in London and 12,500 years in Delhi due to a reduced rate of heart disease.

Reducing meat consumption will lower 15% of heart disease rates in the UK and Sao Paulo (Brazil). Meat consumption is also an agent that causes global warming because livestock farms emit a large amount of greenhouse gases. Developing countries need to reduce polluting fuels.

If we start to change from now on, by 2050 we can reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 50%, mostly from burning fossil fuels.
