Politics of global warming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    On the political side of global warming, nearly all Democrats realize that global warming is, in fact, a real problem while their counterpart Republicans deny this reality. According to the article, "In the United States, a February 2007 survey found that 95% of the 41 Congressional Democrats surveyed agreed 'it's been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the Earth is warming because of man-made problems' while only 13% of the 31 Republicans surveyed agreed." And, although the U.S. has not ratified the Kyoto Protocol, 195 U.S. cities have pledged to reduce carbon emissions.

Early Warning Signs of Global Warming: Spreading Disease - 0 views

  • Mosquitoes in particular are highly sensitive to temperature. The mosquitoes that can carry malaria (Anopheline spp.) generally do not develop or breed below about 16° C, and the variety that transmits dengue fever (Aedes aegypti) is limited by winter temperatures below 10° C.
  • Warmer global temperatures will allow an expansion of the geographic range within which both the mosquito and parasite could survive with sufficient abundance for sustained transmission. Model predictions indicate that a 3° C global temperature rise by 2100 could increase the number of annual malaria cases by 50-80 million (not considering factors such as local control measures or health services)
