ZhiPeng Zou, recently, some epidemic diseases appeared the trend of spreading in developed country and developing country: The salmonella epidemic situation is wreaking havoc in U.S.A. 43 states at present, has already caused more than 400 people to infect so far; Acute respiratory tract infectious disease - -Measles keeps spreading in Europe too, World Health Organization claims that it is probably difficult to dispel the goal of measles in Europe to realize in 2010; In Zimbabwe, infected with already nearly 40,000 of number of people of cholera, already more than 2000 people have died since last August, this is the most serious cholera epidemic situation after 1999 cholera is in Nigeria caused nearly 2100 deaths. Meanwhile, Egypt, Vietnam,etc. country take place the intersection of bird flu and epidemic situation, appear several people infect case of death Disease wreaks havoc, the climate is abnormal and difficult to take off the responsibility. A statement that international Wildlife Conservation Society issues thinks, because of climatic change, 12 kinds including bird flu, cholera, pestilence,etc. " Fatal disease " May prevail by a large scale. Some meteorologists of Britain have already sent out the warning too, has thought the climate that the human activity causes abnormal and brought human danger, not second to WMD such as nuclear weapons definitely. Calculate according to World Health Organization, nearly 150,000 people are seized the life because of climatic change every year. Epidemic disease staged a comeback to threaten human health seriously, sounded the alarm of climatic change in the world again at the same time. Except the negative effect that climatic change causes involves ecosystem and social economy, the influence that it causes to human health is more lasting and very grave. Studies have suggested, global global warming is while causing some species to wither away, have also produced a lot of new variation varieties, and activated the new virus. Only in the past 20 years, there is the whole world at least 30 kinds of new infection diseases resume. The extreme weather takes place frequently, has also offered more favorable condition for spread of disease. There is research report that reveals, the global warming makes the old and new virus more active and more rampant, plant diseases and insect pests are apter to breed and spread too, the quantity of infectious disease carriers grows with each passing day, human health is endangered day by day. In recent years, some tropical diseases have already begun to spread to the high latitude area, the spread ranges of cholera, malaria and dengue fever are expanded, jeopardize global half the population. Besides disease, a severe problem that the mankind also needs to face is, the losses that climatic change causes, have offsetted the advantage that the economic growth brings to a certain extent. According to estimating roughly, its economic losses caused are up to 20% of global GDP. If not effective reduces the discharge of the gas of the greenhouse, the serious climatic issue will tie down international economy seriously day by day. British crown prince Charles even thinks, if does not " solve the global warming problem, can't solve the economic crisis at the moment completely " . It is an extremely urgent problem to cool for the earth. However, the present governments of various countries seem busy dealing with the financial crisis, have no time to take the climatic issue into account. However, " ignore the consequence of the climatic change risk and far greater than the consequence of ignoring the financial system risk " . The cooperation that the countries all over the world should pull together, practical action, prevent the whole world from turning into warm epidemic disease and spreading and endangering the human survival.
