TL;DR: Global croplands, pastures, plantations, and urban areas have expanded in recent decades, accompanied by large increases in energy, water, and fertilizer consumption, along with considerable losses of biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of regional climate change on human health
TL;DR: The growing evidence that climate–health relationships pose increasing health risks under future projections of climate change is reviewed and that the warming trend over recent decades has already contributed to increased morbidity and mortality in many regions of the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature and Mortality in 11 Cities of the Eastern United States
Frank C. Curriero,Karlyn S. Heiner,Jonathan M. Samet,Scott L. Zeger,Lisa J. Strug,Jonathan A. Patz +5 more
TL;DR: The authors found a strong association of the temperature-mortality relation with latitude, with a greater effect of colder temperatures on mortality risk in more-southern cities and of warmer temperatures inMore-northern cities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of environmental change on emerging parasitic diseases.
TL;DR: The combined effects of environmentally detrimental changes in local land use and alterations in global climate disrupt the natural ecosystem and can increase the risk of transmission of parasitic diseases to the human population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change and vector-borne diseases: a regional analysis.
TL;DR: The greatest effect of climate change on transmission is likely to be observed at the extremes of the range of temperatures at which transmission occurs, and climate change has far-reaching consequences and touches on all life-support systems.
