Health Effects of Global Warming/What is Global Warming?
Greenhouse effect causes excessive heat to build up in the earth’s atmosphere causing global warming and affects the environment and health.

‘Increases in the seasonal and annual mean temperatures will be predominant in the tropics and subtropics. This is because of the differences in heat content that prevails in the lower atmospheric boundaries.’

Professor Wang Lin and Dong Zizhen from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences made use of bias-corrected model outputs from the Community Earth System Model Large Ensemble project and derived the link between global warming and heatwaves. According to their estimation, it is the differential heat content of lower atmospheric boundaries that induces global warming to exert distinct types of heatwaves between the Maritime Continent and Indochina Peninsula.
"The extreme heatwave event, such as the heatwave that happens only once-in-50-years and is rare in the current climate, will become more frequent in a warmer future, and may happen once a year in Southeast Asia," highlighted Professor Lin.

Western Diet Linked to Global Warming
Scientists now say that giving up on the western “meat-loaded” diet or, in other words, not eating too much meat is the single most effective way to reduce global warming or cut greenhouse gas effect.
