File name | Health Implications of Global Warming In Relation To Vector Bone Disease |
File Description | Global warming is acknowledged by scientists around the world to be a reality and to be caused primarily by human activity, especially the burning of fossil fuels. Asthe earth warms, the delicate balance of climate, weather events and life is disrupted. Consequences emerge that threaten human health and, ultimately, survival. Dengue fever: It is estimated that there are over 100 million cases of dengue worldwide each year.
