I explored the website that student sample found in class,
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1177002,00.html. This article discusses predictions of what could happen if rising temperatures continue, including insect spread diseases, increase in ground ozone levels and an increase in pollen produce plants.
A couple of things that I learned:
I never knew that the rising amounts of CO2 could increase the risks of allergies and asthma.
I also learned that 20 of the U.S major cities are below sea water and if sea levels rise, those cities are destroyed.
I also decided to check out the following website on health effects of global warming:
http://www.truthout.org/issues_06/041807EC.shtml
This website discusses different things that are caused by global warming that effects our health. It talks about the problem of smog, air/ water born diseases, allergens and other problems arising from global warming. I learned that from the problem of global warming, malaria can spread quicker if tempertures continue to rise.
