Dear Gareth Thomas,

I am writing to inform you that due to the rising levels of greenhouse gases, Global warming has made our planet at risk. This letter will be about how global warming is affecting our planet and how it is starting to affect our people. I will also inform you about how disease control is investigated and practised, the future spread of diseases, how the disease may affect us and how global warming is just not a hotter plant. I will also suggest ideas to reduce Global warming and to prevent diseases spreading to the country

The population in the 1800’s was only one billion people and now in 2011 it is predicted to be a staggering 7 billion people. More people being born and less people dying has resulted in this exponential growth. This graph shows you the rate of population growth between the developed countries and the developing countries.

You can see that the population has not changed too much in the developed countries however the population in developing is has increased at an alarming rate. This is because more children by being born in those countries. The level of CO2 has also risen at alarming rate. Due to factories, cars, aeroplanes and landfills more CO2 and other greenhouse gases is getting emitted into the Earth’s atmosphere and absorbs the infrared ray from the sun and reflects it back into the Earth. This is called The Greenhouse effect. The Greenhouse effect is vital for life as the Earth temperature would be very cold, however too much of Global Warming is extremely bad because it can cause many problems like sea levels rising, more natural disasters, more diseases which can lead to people dying. Here is a graph of the rising CO2 in the atmosphere. The CO2 in the atmosphere have doubled since 1970.

As the Earth is getting hotter this can lead to the discovery of many new diseases. Most of the diseases will be spread by a vector; however some diseases will be spread by Air, Water, Temperature, UV and Metal disorders. The sea level are also rising a lot which could lead to more flood, tsunamis and island being washed away. The sea is rising because the glaciers and ice caps are melting in drastic quantities as the Earth’s average temperature is increasing. Here is a graph to show the increase in sea levels.

Diseases like ...

This is a preview of the whole essay

Diseases like the Plague, Dengue fever, Malaria and Leishmaniasis are spread by vectors. The Plague was one of the most deadly diseases of the Middle Ages. It was so dangerous that it was called the Black Death. The Plague is caused by enterobacteria and is carried by rodents and is spread to human via to fleas. The Plague causes symptoms like high fever, swollen lymph nodes, seizures, muscle cramps and uncontrollable pain. The reason for spreading is because the Earth will become warmer which will allow flea to go to the environment which they couldn’t travel to like Greenland. Malaria is another deadly disease which occurs in countries with a tropical climate. Malaria is caused by a parasite which goes into the mosquito and when the mosquito bites the human then they inject the disease to the person. A person with sickle cell anaemia cannot get malaria because the Malaria parasite attacks the red blood cells and the Malaria parasite can only attack a regular red blood cell as their DNA is different so the Malaria parasite cannot attack it. The symptoms of Malaria are high fever, fatigue, chills, sweating, spleen enlargement and nausea. Increased rainfall and higher temperature will produce more of the anaflease mosquito which is a vector for Malaria. Dengue Fever is a tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. This virus is then goes inside a mosquito and the mosquito acts like a vector to the human. 80% of the people who are affected get minor symptoms like low fever however some people develop major symptoms like slow heart rate, headaches, nosebleeds, rash and diarrhoea. The rising of temperature will produce more mosquitos which will spread the diseases in different areas. Leishmaniasis is a caused by which causes ulcers on the body. The symptoms of Leishmaniasis are ulcers, fever, anemia and enlargement of the spleen. There are also many airborne diseases like Meningitis and Tuberculosis. Meningitis is a harmful disease which causes the inflammation of the membranes covering the brain and the spinal cord. It is causes by many different pathogens like viral and bacterial, however bacterial meningitis is much more powerful the viral. The symptoms of Meningitis are usually fever, vomiting, headache, a rash can you can see when it is pressed against a glass and stiff neck. It increases because of dry weather and dusty environment as it is the perfect environment for the pathogens. TB is a serious disease which is caused by a bacterium. TB affects the lungs; however, the infection can spread to many parts of the body, including the bones and nervous system. The symptoms of TB are fever, coughing blood, weight loss, weakness and chest pain. It increases due to lower immune system of people due to the other diseases which had affected them.

Cholera is a disease which is caused by a bacterium in contaminated food and mainly water. The symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, low blood pressure and wrinkled hands. Cholera will increase more with uneven rainfalls, poor drainage systems, floods and an increase of water temperature. Skin Cancer is a condition which happens when too much UV rays are exposed to your skin. Symptoms are discolored skin and bumps in the skin. There are three types of skin cancer: Basal cell carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. This increases with more sun and a weak ozone layer. Malnutrition is when a person does not get enough to eat. This is because their crops have failed because of droughts and floods. Symptoms of malnutrition are bloated stomach, low blood pressure, coma and death.

We can do many things to stop treat these diseases like we can build new hospitals around the world so more people can be treated, we can build more research facilities so that more cures can be found, We must have mandatory vaccination so people are vaccinated and do not spread the diseases, We should have domestic Vector Protection to stop vectors from infecting people, Drain swamps, plants GM crops to produce more food and educate people about these diseases so that they can avoid them. However in order to prevent these diseases from spreading we need to

Burn less fossils fuels
Recycle more so that like product go into the landfill
Use public transport
Use renewable energy like Solar power, Wind power and hydroelectric power
Grow more plants

Also Global Warming has many other negative effects like

Overheating of the planet
More Natural Disasters
More animals like the polar bear will become extinct
The sea levels will rise
Increase probability of droughts leading to malnutrition
Ice cap melting
More Forest and Wildfires

Overall I think that we need avoid increasing the rate of Global warming, and we should plan for the future as if may suffer as a consequence of our actions. We should avoid using fossil fuels and use other alternatives like renewable energy sources and we should try to develop and developing countries so that the population does not increase drastically and we can slow down the rate of Global warming if we all make a few changes to our lives.

Yours Sincerely
