These are just a few of the problems climate change could cause for you:
- Higher summer temperatures and more sunshine can lead to breathing problems, skin cancers and cataracts.
- Warmer winters will allow bacteria to survive and thrive, leading to more disease.
- 10,000 more cases of food poisoning every year.
- Diseases which are now rare in the UK - such as malaria - could become common within 50 years.
- More rain and damp weather may lead to more pneumonia and other lung diseases.
- More flooding is likely to lead to more water-borne diseases.
Climate change is not something which will only affect other people. It will affect all of us. It will affect you.
