Climate change detrimental to children.
Children under 5 years are easily hit by environmental atmospheric condition. Parent should protect the children in a modest way. Clothes in the primary to stabilize the body warm. By wearing appropriate clothes or suitable to the age children.
Climate change is the world's weather system changes caused by humans. The direct impact of climate change will occur, among other things, rising sea levels, rising temperatures, the disruption of water supply, and increasing the quantity and quality of weather-bad weather. The whole effect is usually also be accompanied by social impact and increased health problems. Climate change is also known as the enhanced greenhouse effect or global warming. It is predicted that climate change will lead to disaster for the entire world population.
Causes of climate change
The main cause of climate change is increasing atmospheric temperature , the amount of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, which cause a rise in the average temperature of the earth. In the last 50, the rate of deforestation (deforestation) and the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, coal has dramatically increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere.
Some people are at high risk for health problems caused by climate change.
Vulnerable groups are:
Children - the immune system of children who have not been perfect and the health of their dependence on others to make them the most vulnerable groups.
Projections of climate change in Indonesia
Three projections of climate change in Indonesia:
a. The projected increase in surface temperature
The projected increase in the average surface temperature throughout Indonesia as a result of greenhouse gases until the period 2020-2050 is about 0.8-1 ° C relative to the last climatic period in the 20th century (Bappenas, 2010).
b. Projected changes in rainfall
Reduced rainfall in the dry season from June to July-August and the transition from September to October-November events Java and Nusa Tenggara Islands and increased rainfall in the rainy season from December to January-June (DJF). This trend is likely to reverse the projected results for most areas in other islands (MoE, 2010).
Decrease in rainfall is quite large in the dry season (July-August-September) in Java and Bali (Naylor, 2007, Li et al 2007).
c. Projections of sea level rise
Rise in sea level provide enormous potential threat against Indonesia, which consists of many small and large islands.
In 2050, the sea level due to global warming is projected to reach 35-40 cm relative to the value in 2000. Based on these results, the maximum sea level in Indonesia can reach 175 cm in 2100 (Bappenas, 2010).
Common impacts of climate change
Climate change will cause a worldwide disaster. Climate change can cause serious health problems, such as:
Increased fatalities due to natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, landslides, droughts, and forest fires.
Lack of availability of water supply.
Increased respiratory diseases, cardiovascular, and allergy due to poor air quality, for example, as a result of frequent forest fires.
Increased gastrointestinal disease (indigestion), due to food-borne illness is more common in warm climates.
The increasing incidence of diseases associated with exposure to extreme temperatures, such as fatigue, stroke, and possibly death.
The effects of sea level rise
Rising sea surface and waves are expected to cause a variety of health problems and social problems, such as:
Lost or diminished livelihoods, and reduce the availability of fresh food as a result of changes in agriculture, forestry and fisheries.
Mass migration - for example the many islands in Indonesia will be submerged if sea levels continue to rise.
Health problems related to conditions in the refugee camps - for example the problem of hygiene and disease prevention.
Mental illness and trauma related social dislocation, culture, and geography.
The effect of changes in the ecosystem
Some health problems that may arise due to ecosystem changes may include:
Changes in the distribution of infectious diseases - such as mosquitoes which carry malaria or dengue fever is generally limited to areas that are warmer. Because of temperature increases, this mosquito will expand its distribution territory.
Malnutrition and other problems related to lack of food, especially for people living in remote areas.
Impact on agriculture
Access to fresh and nutritious foods is the cornerstone of health. Climate change will greatly reduce the availability of food. Warm weather and rising sea levels will lead to:
Decreasing the growing season most of the plants, so the result will be less.
Kill certain fish populations.
Declining rainfall and river flow, which will reduce the amount of crops and livestock.
Fertile coastal areas will be flooded by sea water, so that no longer fit for agriculture.
Increased frequency of occurrence due to bad weather (such as forest fires), which will disrupt agriculture.
Heat waves and health
Greenhouse gases will continue to "warm up" world. Heat wave generated would lead to a sharp increase in health problems associated with heat, such as:
1. Fatigue
2. Stroke
3. Dehydration
4. Blood clotting problems
5. Heart attack
6. Heart failure
7. Kidney failure.
8. High-risk groups in Indonesia
Parents - many health problems in the elderly that will get worse due to climate change.
People with certain medical conditions - such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, respiratory diseases such as asthma, kidney disease, neurological diseases, metabolic diseases, quadriplegia and other immobility condition.
People who work outside the home - exposure to extreme weather and air pollution would increase a person's risk for developing the disease.
People living in rural or remote areas - risks such as drought, land and forest fires, and loss of livelihood for farmers. the environmental factor is dominant.
People living in coastal areas - rising sea levels and increasing bad weather at sea can cause injury, death or migration. that are the effect of global warming to be detrimental Atmospheric Temperature to Children.
required the attention of parents in detail so that the child's condition is maintained
ReplyDeleteI STRONGLY AGREE !!!!
Deleteto correct the temperature of the atmosphere we have to protect the forest and its sustainability.
ReplyDeleteyes. I thing so
Deletethere is nothing more beloved in this world, but a child who grew up and healthy, anything even fought for the sake of children
ReplyDeleteany wild animal that has no sense to be trying hard in search of food for her child what else humans certainly more for than
ReplyDeletegood air was instrumental in temperature stability
