THE NORTHERN UNITED STATES, ARE EXTENDING
THE PERIODS WHEN PLANTS RELEASE POLLEN.
THIS AFFECTS NOT ONLY PEOPLE WHO ALREADY
HAVE ALLERGIES, BUT THOSE WHO DIDN’T. THIS
MEANS THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE POLLEN
ALLERGIES MIGHT EXPERIENCE ,ORE INTENSE
SYMPTOMS, AND PEOPLE WHO DON’T NORMALLY
HAVE ALLERGIES MIGHT BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE
THEM. THIS POLLEN CAN INDUCE ALLERGIC

insects thrive with warmer-than-average temperatures, extreme heat
waves, and heavy rains. These vectors live longer lives in extended periods
of warm weather. Fly into new areas that were previously too cold. And
reproduce in water deposits left by the rain. Climate change is also creating
ideal conditions for waterborne pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and
protozoa, which flourish in warmer waters.

• Climate Change Solutions- order to avoid the most serious
impacts of climate change, humans will have to
significantly reduce the amount of greenhouse gas
emissions being put into the atmosphere. There are
different approaches to make these decreases, including
optimizing vehicles proficiency, expanding access to and
utilization of open travel, overhauling building protection,
supplanting fossils with renewable energy, and
diminishing deforestation.
Renewable energy is energy that is
collected from renewable resources that
are naturally replenished on a human
timescale. It includes sources such as
sunlight, wind, the movement of water,
and geothermal heat. Although most
renewable energy sources are
sustainable, some are not.
