Are we Being Affected ????

Agriculture and forestry - crop failure and famine will ensue throughout marginally productive regions of the world. In the UK, agricultural practices will need to adapt; milder weather will benefit some crops at the expense of others. Forestry will be affected: in Wales, native broadleaf trees could suffer as a result of droughts, whereas conifer plantations are likely to become more productive. More conifers will exacerbate some of the problems associated with acid-rain, and, simultaneously, have serious implications for the biodiversity of our woodlands. (flickr)

Human health - over the long term there is likely to be an increase in the spread of certain diseases; malaria, for instance, could reach parts of Europe, including the UK. Urban air pollution is likely to get worse and its associated ill-health effects exacerbated. Heat-induced deaths are likely to increase, especially among the elderly. Adverse weather conditions, such as storms and floods, will exact their own costs, both human and economic: lives will be lost, insurance premiums will rise. (article found here)

I feel like these 2 sections i chose express my concerns on this topic perfectly. Human health and agriculture are very important for obvious reasons. Clearly by now this word of global warming has become a house hold name with countless amounts of blogs and newsletters on this topic. Should we just sit back and watch this happen or try and do something about it?????
