Global warming will bring higher temperatures and will cause an increase in tropical diseases like West Nile Virus. Rising temperatures will also cause a rise in malaria. The most affected will be the young and the elderly. The disease carrying animals such as mosquitoes, rodents, and bats will move more north with the warmer temperatures.

 

 

Smog will also increase and that will lead to higher rates of asthma and heart disease. The poor countries will be the most affected by these climate changes due to lack of medical facilities, doctors, and medicine.
