Project Proposal: Effects of Climate Change
The final research paper generated from the Project Proposal: Effects of Climate Change
will discuss the question, what Americans can do to reduce climate change health effects?
Various research publications by credible sources advise, global warming climate change
has an affect on human health. Climate change and the impact on human health can be
connected through direct or indirect variables.
The Importance
I feel as though if we start at a young age then we will encourage more young people to
start making some positive changes in their lives. This is an important issue to me because
global warming is an issue that just about everyone. Not enough people take the climate
change situation serious and many seem to think one can not be affected. The reader
should take the climate situation as an important topic in ones life due to climate change
will affect the living situation of their children, grandchildren, the seriousness of health
impacts and environment circumstances. and will very much affect our childrens children.
Historical, Social, and Cultural Perspectives
There are different historical, social, and cultural perspectives surrounding the question on,
what Americans can do to reduce climate change health effects. Numerous sources state,
prior to industrial revolution, the least amount gases were released into the earths
atmosphere by human activity. Since the industrialization period, man put into place the
noticeable rapid beginnings of the ever-growing situation. The research community state,
humans are being affected by the introduction into the atmosphere the increased levels and
different mixtures of the burning of various fossil fuels, rapidly increasing population, and
deforestation. Native American cultures feel as though the rapid modifications on mother
earth is harmful to plants, animals and humans.
Groups of Interest
There are different groups interested in reducing climate change health effects, yet there
are other groups that should take an initiative in the interest of the interaction of climate
change and human health. Prior to the 1900s, only individuals from the scientific
community took notice to climate change. After the mid 1900s and pressure from the
scientific community, governmental agencies, took a recognizable interest in global
warnings climate change.
As the United States was coming near Government agencies, health communities,
academic and research institutions are noticeable groups that have shown an dedicated
interest when it comes to climate change and human health. Organizations such as, The
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), The Centers for Disease Control,
The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) are
