Climate change is a public health crisis. Significant scientific data points to an unmistakable upward trend in global surface temperature, which has resulted in higher atmospheric moisture retention, which has resulted in more frequent extreme weather events, declining ice volume, and progressively rising sea levels. Because warm and damp conditions favour the multiplication of common allergens such as pollens, dust mites, moulds, and fungus, the rise in the prevalence of allergy illnesses is intimately linked to these environmental changes. Ecosystems are also under stress as a result of global warming, hastening the loss of vital species. Ocean acidification and oxygen depletion are aided by excessive carbon dioxide and warmer saltwater. This causes a gradual drop in phytoplankton and fish development, which encourages the formation of wider oceanic dead zones, causing food chain and biodiversity disruption.
