Essays on Heat Wave

Natural disasters are common throughout the world, and they occur when they are least expected and in places that no one can think about. In most cases, natural disaster lead to loss of properties and damage to the environment, and most importantly, leads to health hazards. In this discussion, the natural disaster of focus will be heat wave which was experienced in Europe in 2003 (Poumadere, Mays, Le Mer & Blong, 2005). In 2003, European nations were affected by heat wave whose primary cause was anticyclone over Western Europe that forfeited precipitation leading to extreme temperatures for about three months, ...

Global warming is one of deleterious consequences of climatic change. Increased level of carbon dioxide emission and other pollutants such as chlorofluorocarbons contribute to unprecedented increase in the atmospheric temperature which dictates human survival in this planet. A continuation of this trend will eventually lead to a wipe out of the living creatures on the earth’s surface through resulting effects such as heat wave related deaths as well as flooding. Global warming has contributed to several cases of heat wave related deaths around the world. It has also denied wild animals their natural habitats through forest fires which ...

The unpredictable changes in climate have a considerable impact on the health of the global population. People need to adjust to the changing weather conditions, and the inability to cope may lead to the development of weather related illnesses and even death. This paper aims to discuss the health concerns that arise due to global climate change, as well as the factors that contributed to the difference in the impact of climate change in the US, UK and China. I. Health Concerns Related to Climate Change a. Expansion of Microbial Pathogens One of the health concerns brought by climate ...

While it has no universal definition, a heat wave can possibly be described as an extended duration of abnormally high temperatures which is in some cases accompanied by excessively high humidity. That which may be considered a heat wave in one region, could be normal weather in other regions. Hence, the weather conditions vary from region to region. The heat wave has been described as the single most catastrophic phenomenon associated with weather changes. Heat wave catastrophes accounted for close to two thousand two hundred deaths in the world. This was much too high compared to close to one thousand deaths ...
