I read Rob Gelbspan’s book “THE HEAT IS ON” and wrote a report about global warming with that book plus other sources (including some very biased oil funded studies online). I found that global warming is real, that insurance companies won’t insure home owners who build too close to the shore of the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. Hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, and storms in general will not only get worse but also will occur more often. Insects carrying disease will go higher into the mountain tops due to global warming and make more people sick. The same is worldwide for global warming. Ocean levels will rise, flooding coastal cities as well as low lying islands. Due to less time of freezing in the winters, more vectors like mosquitos and disease-carrying insects have a chance to lay eggs and for those eggs to hatch, thus carrying diseases to people around the globe. Many more people will get sick from these vector-borne illnesses, and thus the impact for people not only will be storms, floods, wildfires, hurricanes, but also more virulent and even NEW diseases. Flooding will exacerbate such conditions. Tornadoes will also be worse, of the level 5 super cell variety. Please read “Storms of my Grandchildren” by Hansen. Also ice shelf’s will fall off glaciers.

I see that the following problems will not only lead to worldwide pandemics of disease jumping from animal to human and most certainly from human to human, but also food shortages making food scarce for poor people globally. Food is the number one form of fighting disease and human growth abnormalities. Without enough food, disease in every country of the globe runs rampant. We must keep food supplies up to our needs for human growth and consumption as well as overall health and happiness. It is without saying that global warming not only causes drought so plants cannot grow to feed people and livestock, but global warming also causes desertification, that is, for lack of rainfall the increased land masses (which increase every year), given to becoming a desert.
