Margin Outline

I. Global warming is a serious issues and some countries will not consider it an issue to
human population health because it has not shown such a great effect yet.
a. There are many health study cases on children being diagnosed with asthma,
respiratory disease or cardiovascular disease because of air pollution either caused
from outside environment or inside home environment.
b. It is hard to consider global warming a serious health issue in many countries
because many low-income countries cannot afford to provide resources such as
proper gas stove instead of using stove that uses coal or air vents that work
properly to control global warming rates.
c. There are some countries who can make sources to control the rates of global
warming but they do not care about this issue because they are confused on how
to increase their economy and growth in their country and an example of a
country would be China.
d. Since many of these health issues are being ignored, thousands to millions of
people die because of increasing in global warming rates in the world. Why
should people care about global warming? Is it even a serious issue?
II. On December 1997, the United Nation Conference on Climate Change was held in
Kyoto, Japan, where about 10,000 policy makers and almost 150 countries were present
to discuss about making a treaty on restraining wasting gases which leads to overheat
Earths atmosphere and changing global weather from outburst of heat waves and
drought from dangerous storms such as hurricanes.
a. Mark Bergman article, the lower atmosphere of Earths temperature rises yearly
from 0.3(deg) to 0.6(deg) Celsius since 1890. He also mentions that surface
temperature of Earths would rise from 1(deg) to 3.5(deg) Celsius.
b. The main causes of gas pollution are from factories, cars, etc., such as carbon
dioxide which 60% cause of global warming, halocarbons are 20% cause of
global warming, methane is 15% cause of global warming and finally, nitrogen
oxide is 5% cause of global warming.
c. A law was passed in United States in 1970 called the Clean Air Act to help Earth
and health of people by cutting down on carbon emission on cars, recycling
energy and producing more power plants. Another United Nation Conference was
held in Paris, were almost 200 countries were present and their main goal for their
conference was reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
III. Another health cause- health problems is Ozone layer being destroyed every year.
 a. The Ozone layer protects Earth from heavy sunlight and it protects human health
from cancer or burns, but due to an increase in pollution has damage Ozone layer
and increasing the temperature of Earths surface.
b. One of the most ozone polluted states in United States are California, Texas,
Nevada, Arizona, New York, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Colorado.
c. A medical literature of Environmental Protect Agency, wrote that in 2010 about
1,500 to 4,300 premature deaths were declared, 5,300 hearth attack, and 58,000
asthma attacks because of overheat temperature from damaged Ozone layer.
IV. Examining the Human Impact of Global Warming article, due to thick fog and not
being able to see while traveling is a huge global hazard especially for long distance
traveling.
a. Numbers of car traveling on the road could be hazardous for drivers and drivers
surrounded by them.
b. Global warming can be affected in many ways as we saw above and some those
ways are by air pollution indoor and outside, damaging ozone layer, etc.
V. One of the biggest health issue ever discovered in 1979 by National Institution of Health
(NIH) is asthma.
a. National Institution of Health (NIH) was able to connect that indoor air pollution
was cause of asthma epidemic among youngsters.
b. According to CQ Researcher Article Asthma Epidemic, less than one year old boy
named Aaron had irregular cough, sounding almost close as he was choking but
when, which are classic symptoms of asthma. They were able to diagnose Aaron
with antibiotics prescription and control on his diet when he grows up.
c. A study done in Germany by National Institution of Health (NIH) showed results
that they had a high rate in air pollution which showed increase in cases of asthma
or a respiratory disease. Many of the high rates were skewed toward indoor air
pollution mainly smoking, fireplace (burning coals) and gas air vents.
d. In NBC news, a 14-year-old boy, was infected by amoeba bacteria after diving in
Lake Havasu. According to doctors, increase in water temperature, water created
an amoeba bacteria and leading to infectious disease for humans, such increase in
temperature is because of global warming.
e. As per World Health Organization (WHO), many causes of death are
cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and cancer.
f. Jill Adams mentioned in his article named Air Pollution and Climate Change, air
pollution has killed about 3.3 million people in one year around the world and
55,000 were killed in United States. Many of these pollutants are airborne
pollutant (toxic agents) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
VI. There are countries who are seriously affected by global warming and they are either able
to do something about but choose to ignore or simply cannot afford to fix the issue.
a. Those countries are China, India, and Pakistan and all three of these countries are
neighbors.
b. China is considered one of the most polluted countries in the world because of
their increase in economy. Since China wanted to increase their economy they
had to start with industries/ factories for productions and increase in construction
work. This has helped boom Chinas economy.
 c. Chinas air pollution is known for thick smog in the cities areas only, but they are
decreasing their air pollution rates gradually every year.
d. India is another country that has high pollution for many years. Even though they
been on top for many years, India is one of those countries that doesnt do much
about it since its already a middle- income country.
e. Indias government is unable to provide sources for low-income people. India is
increase in pollution mainly due to large usage of fireworks because of festival
purposes.
f. There are 62 units in PM 2.5 in India which is fairly-high comparing number to
other countries. There are 68 deaths per 100,000 people from air pollution in
India.
g. Pakistan is another country that has high rate in pollution is because Pakistan a
developing country which mean more uses of industries to create a higher
economy for future betterment.
h. China, India, and Pakistan are top countries who have high rates in air pollution,
deaths because of pollution and large use of carbon emission from transportation.
VII. In conclusion, there are many causes of global warming and some of them are carbon
dioxide, halocarbons, methane, nitrogen oxide.
a. Many of these causes are from factories, cars, smoking, etc. These causes either
affect the outside environment such as thick fog/ smog or inside (home)
environment such as using coal for fire to make food which mainly happens in
low- income countries.
b. These causes of death impact on health such as asthma, cardiovascular disease,
respiratory disease, cancer, etc.
c. Global warming has killed almost 3.3 million people in world every year because
of many health impacts on human population.
d. Global warming is an issue in China, India, and Pakistan for past few years. China
is gradually decreasing its global warming rates every year because now they are
able to provide and make sources to control their global warming rates.
e. India and Pakistan are not quite able to control their global warming rates because
of lack of money and resources to help the population.
f. Some way to prevent is global warming in our community is mainly saving
energy and try using public transportation instead of our motor vehicles to get to
places.
