The Climate Change Report #1

Welcome to "The Reports of the Climate Change." The Climate Change is at it again. We as people of this world need to do better in combating this monster!

Climate change has taken on a new tactic. According to the article titled "the opposing effects of climate change and socio-economic development on the global distribution of malaria", climate change is causing the weather in the world to become significantly warmer, and because of this it is "projected to increase the population at risk."

According to the same article, the population is more at risk because mosquitoes thrive in warm climates. With climate change causing the weather to become warmer, it is predicted that more mosquitoes carrying malaria will reproduce and spread the disease.

This article was informative and well written. The article enlightens the reader of one negative effect that climate change has on the environment. The article discussion of the projected at risk population in the past, future and present was useful when trying to understand how the climate change directly can and has affected the spread of malaria.

We as people must stand up to climate change. This monster is out to get us all, and if we do not do better it will win. We can fight this monster by fighting our inner desires to be lazy. I challenge everyone reading this to take a punch at climate change by walking or bicycling more. If we as people try our best not to be lazy and walk or bicycle, instead of driving, we will do our part in fighting climate change.

Thank you for your time and this concludes our report on The Climate Change.

  1. I totally agree that we all need to do better because the climate change is really something serious.
    I can see a significant change in the climate. Winters are becoming warmer and shorter and the summers are hitting record breaking temperatures. I don’t know about other people but when I see things like that happening, it scares me a little.
    I think if more people actually noticed the climate change and knew the damage it could possibly cause, then they might do more to help our environment because it’s going to take everyone to help out with this problem.
    If mosquitoes can carry and spread malaria to the human race then I think that we all need to open our eyes. Mosquitoes are everywhere and you never know what they’re carrying with them.
    I try my hardest to walk as many places as possible, not only for going green purposes but also for health reasons.
