It is increasingly becoming apparent how global warming is having damaging effects on our bodies. In particular, there is evidence for an increased incidence of certain diseases as well as more general long term health impacts. Within this section, we will walk you through certain areas of the human body, explain their functionality and summarise the adverse effects being caused by global warming.

Parkinson’s Disease
Affecting over 10 million people worldwide, this neurological disorder originates due to cell death within the basal ganglia of the brain. With an aging global population, the number of people with the disease is (unavoidably) exponentially increasing, however, worryingly to further add to this global warming might be making an impact too. Take a look at the article to understand some of the evidence for this and to discover more about the disease!
Epilepsy
Surprisingly, epilepsy affects around 1 in 100 people, although severity and symptoms differ greatly. Browse the article to learn more about epilepsy, how the disease develops and about the new evidence suggesting rising global temperatures might be creating more of an impact on some people with epilepsy than expected.
Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of dementia. Most commonly associated as a condition that develops due to the advancement of age, recently the effects that contact sports like rugby can have on its development are generating publicity. Within this article, a background of the disease, its unique etiology, as well as the worrying impact global warming is having on the disease are discussed.
Cardiovascular Disease
With Cardiovascular diseases already at the forefront of many peoples minds, we highlight here the apparent link between their occurrence and global warming. A general overview of cardiovascular disease is given followed by the impact of global warming itself.
