Dangerous climate change like HIV / AIDS
Climate change impacts not only the environment but also the greatest threat, threatening the health of billions of people in the 21st century.
This observation by a group of scientists from The Lancet Medical Journal (Institute of Global Health, University of London, UK). Five main areas of study include: diseases and deaths, food security, fresh water, sanitary conditions, human habitation, mutations and migration events.
Climate change forces humanity to face the risk of survival.
Anthony Costello, head of the research team, said: 'We are facing the same challenge as HIV / AIDS 25 years ago, the biggest message of the report is that climate change will have a negative impact on health. healthy people not only affect the Arctic, Antarctica or tropical forests'.
According to the report of the scientific group, developing countries are the areas most affected. These countries are suffering from a growing population and the potential for food shortages and clean water.
It is estimated that by 2020, 250 million people in Africa face severe water shortages while temperatures rise, causing diseases such as malaria, cholera and dengue fever to spread faster.
