We've already started feeling the reverse effects of global warming. Forests have been destroyed due to the rise in population of pine beetle which expanded due to the lack of severe winters. Forests are also at a high risk of catching fires. There has been a five fold increase in forest fires. The amount of carbon monoxide released due to these bog fires has resulted in fuel combustion. It’s been observed that over the past couple of years , birds and butterflies have shifted their range northward by 200 kilometers in Europe and North America. Global warming has also had a devastating effect on health. The incidence of cardiovascular diseases has increased due to increased fluorocarbons in the atmosphere. Lung tissues are damaged leading to asthma. Hence, the morality rate too has been affected. This global warming has led to a higher rate of dengue and malaria cases. These insect borne diseases are on the rise and the World Health Organization is working hard to eliminate them through vaccines.
