Over half of known human pathogenic diseases can be aggravated
by climate change
SUMMARY/ABSTRACT:
"It is relatively well accepted that climate change can affect
human pathogenic diseases; however, the full extent of this risk
remains poorly quantified. Here we carried out a systematic
search for empirical examples about the impacts of ten climatic
hazards sensitive to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on each
known human pathogenic disease. We found that 58% (that is, 218
out of 375) of infectious diseases confronted by humanity
worldwide have been at some point aggravated by climatic
hazards; 16% were at times diminished. Empirical cases revealed
1,006 unique pathways in which climatic hazards, via different
transmission types, led to pathogenic diseases. The human
pathogenic diseases and transmission pathways aggravated by
climatic hazards are too numerous for comprehensive societal
adaptations..."

SUMMARY:
The deadly diseases that are spiking because of climate change
Outbreaks of infectious diseases are now being linked directly
to global warming, with the risk spreading beyond tropical
regions to temperate zones too.
