Even with the intense heat, some areas are experiencing severe heavy rainfall and flooding. These are just a few of the effects of global boiling.
What is Global Boiling?
“Global boiling” is a phase transitioning from “global warming” where the greenhouse effect is becoming denser, making it impossible for the heat received from the sun, industrial combustion, and various human activities to escape the Earth.
- Extreme Weather Changes Despite scorching heat that leads to severe droughts and wildfires, some areas are facing heavy rainfall, causing floods and landslides.
- Health Issues Global boiling affects both the physical and mental health of humans from the womb to old age. The intense heat and air pollution lead to premature births and can cause premature death in the elderly. In the long term, it also impacts a child’s development and increases the risk of severe stress and depression. Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) states that global boiling is a cause behind the worldwide spread of viruses like dengue fever, Zika virus, and chikungunya. It also intensifies outbreaks of cholera, dengue fever, and food poisoning.
