摘要
Today no one may be hesitant to talk about climate change because we are feeling its effects on health. In this article, you will find basic information about the subject, what it is, what causes it , what we can do about it. But you don't need to be an expert on climate to talk about the risks climate change poses to human health, or the health benefits of taking action against these changes. When the subject is a climate change, we often hear specialist no knowledge in fact about subject. People often talk about climate change with too much emotion , without paying attention to the facts that are driving those climate changes. At one moment they talk about people and animals dying for lack of water or food, at another moment, they point to the negative effects on people's health. This article points out some causes of the effects of these changes on people. One of the causes is the lack of water and the reduction of food supply. Another cause is heat wave with temperature reaching a record of 49 degrees Celsius in several cities, with an effect on people's regular work, breathing difficulties and water shortage. This article is based on exploratory research to get to know the topic in more depth and establish an opening for future research. The technique for obtaining information is a bibliographical one that points out the facts that generate the impacts of climate change on the lives of people and animals, aiming to stimulate understanding and discussion about the problem. The first results of this research indicate that the problems generated by climate change in the health of people and animals are the reduction in food production, for example: the production of wheat in India; death of people in Pakistan, Spain, India due to temperatures of 49 degrees Celsius and, finally, the lack of water in Somalia and other regions.
