Introduction:
Rising temperatures have become a major issue due to climate change and global warming. Increasing heat levels affect people’s health, comfort, and daily activities. Many individuals experience tiredness, skin problems, discomfort while traveling, and low energy during hot weather. This study aims to understand how rising temperatures affect people’s daily lives and overall well-being.
Objective:
To understand people’s experiences and problems caused by rising temperatures and analyze how they affect people’s daily routine, health, and energy levels.
Literature Review:
1. Prevention is nearly always better than cure. There is an urgent need to develop improved methods and tools of climate impact assessment. There is no “safe limit” of climate change with respect to health impacts, as current health systems often do not adequately cope with current climate variability. “Health” can and should be included in the discussion on global climate change and dangerous climate change. Although health (and other nonmarket impacts) are being addressed, robust assessments are still missing and appropriate policy decisions in terms of public health adaptation are not being made. Ref – Kjellstrom, T., Van Kerkhoff, L., Bammer, G., & McMichael, A. J. (2003)
2. Air pollution is a significant environmental threat to humans around the world. The impacts of pollution can range from adverse health outcomes and death to diminished cognitive function and productivity. The negative impact of pollution on human health is widely documented. Pollution exposure can significantly harm bodily organs including the lungs, the heart, and the brain. In the worst cases, pollution exposure causes death. In 2019, an estimated 4.5 million people died globally due to ambient pollution. Ref – Adhvaryu, A., N. Kala, and A. Nyshadham. 2020
