Written by Haw-Yueh Thong and Howard I. Maibach, the article ‘Global Warming and its Dermatologic Implications,’ seeks to demystify the topic of global warming and how it relates to dermatology. The article begins by identifying scientific claims of the role of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons, and nitrous oxide in increasing global temperatures and leading to general climatic shifts. The article outlines its presentation under three major areas; ‘Global warming and the UV exposure of human skin’ where it explains the relationship between exposure to ultra violet radiations and skin cancer, ‘Climate change and skin infection,’ explaining pathogen outbreaks of skin infections due to climate change, and ‘Extreme weather events and dermatologic conditions,’ which recognizes possibilities of extreme changes in timings of significant climate and weather events. The article concludes by stating that if not watched, global warming may present challenging circumstances to man and other species in the future.

The article by Bala G., ‘Counteracting climate change via solar radiation management’ highlights various challenges of climate change as well as counteractive measures possibly available as solutions. It begins by giving a background of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) and then identifying the need to maintain SRM for centuries to come. It identifies possible catastrophic results in the event that failure to maintain SRM takes place. The article then discusses unmitigated climate effects as well as the unintended side effects of SRM. It is concluded with a summary of SRM proposed methods and major scientific considerations.

Catherine M. Cooney’s article, ‘Climate Change: Health Scenarios for a Warming World,’ begins by identifying the fact that several greenhouse gases and emissions of emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) spend a relatively long time in the atmosphere. They influence climate and contribute tremendously to global warming. Cooney identifies several potential impacts of temperature change, which are organized into categories as temperature increases. These include increase in vegetation burn, extremes of less or more rainfall in various areas, reduced and loss of food yield across continents, loss of wetland and extremely warm temperatures. The article is concluded by highlights into the ‘climate change legislation of 2010.’

‘The Economics of Global Warming’ by Maria Rocha-Buschel concerns itself with global warming in terms of economic effects and impacts. The article starts by noting that most scientists have developed a non partisan approach to the issue of global warming. Besides mentioning several organizations that have taken this approach, she mentions that global warming and politics have various common points. The article outlines its issues under two principal topics. These include ‘Renewable Resources and the Recession,’ And ‘The Politics of Climate Change.’ The article sums up that a non-partisan and apolitical approach to global warming is not easily achievable. Nonetheless, global warming is an important point that humans need to address.

Jenő Borda and György Deák article ‘What shall we do with the Carbon-Dioxide?’ is yet another article that tackles global warming. This article looks at global warming via environmental aspects in terms of effects and changes on the environment and the ultimate influence on humans and other species. It takes an insight into the role of carbon sequestration in global warming and looks into the role of coal-fired power plants, as well. It also tackles global warming in relation to nuclear energy and discusses photosynthetic repercussions of various activities. The article is concluded by an urge for a solution to the problems of global warming, noting that there are several options to regulate CO2 level in the atmosphere.
