Global Warming Could Save Lives

Posted by Cruuuuooootttssss on Wednesday, November 30, 2011

With increasing temperature the population of the planet by droughts, floods and heat waves will be threatened. WHO, more than 150,000 people die each year as a result of climate change, and that many others will be interested in coming years.
But he is dead and the other bread, while the rest of the world most affected by climate change see the Danes seem to appreciate particularly happy. No NOK avoid many of the consequences of climate change - rising temperatures could actually help to save lives.
More heat, less death
Mapped in the study, the researchers, the relationship between the temperature gradient in Copenhagen, on the one hand, and the deaths and admissions to the other side. When Denmark experienced periods of warmer weather than normal, according to the survey, fewer patients with heart / circulatory diseases hospitalized or to die - even in summer. He predicted that the heat may have a protective effect in the winter have, but it was no surprise that the temperature gradients are fewer deaths in the summer months.
Luckier than others
In the study, researchers examined how temperature gradients affect shots and deaths from heart disease / vascular diseases, respiratory diseases and diseases of the blood vessels of the brain. The statistical analysis showed that an increase in temperature by 1 degree accounted for 1 percent fewer deaths and 1.1 percent fewer hospital admissions for people with heart conditions / diseases. Therefore, I have a lot in comparison to other European countries. A large 2008 study examined the corresponding relations in 15 European cities like Prague, Budapest, Zurich, Paris, Helsinki, London and Dublin. In almost all major cities increased mortality rates for heart patients / vascular, depending on temperature. Only in Dublin, it was observed that increasing temperature had a protective effect.
Cold unhealthy
Copenhagen and Dublin have similar global warming in time, and it is possible that the cold and rain a greater negative impact on mortality has a slightly higher temperature. The apparent success is likely in part because they are pretty bad luck when it comes to climate change. Not so much so that the heat well, but cold, it can be dangerous. No one knows exactly why higher temperatures can be good for heart patients / vascular. It is likely that contract the blood vessels, blood thickens and changes in blood flow, depending on how the body needs to warm up.
Increasing the temperature does not seem to be any difference in vascular diseases of the brain. At least it seems that in our cold weather is a serious problem for heart disease / vascular heat.
Lung Protection
Even when dealing with diseases of the respiratory tract Denmark appears to be safe, even when the temperatures rise? In the Danish study, the temperature rise will have a significant impact on mortality, either in summer or winter, in fact, researchers have a higher temperature in winter is good for the lung disease.
And even if the temperature rises during the summer seems to be more hospitalizations for respiratory diseases, which are probably not as affected as other places on the planet.
