The phenomenon of global warming is highly controversial as to whether it exists or not. If it is, in fact, a valid phenomenon, however, it is something that
could forever alter life as we know it. The environment would be unquestionably impacted. What many fail to realize, however, is that human health is directly tied
to our environment. This fact is drilled home in a recent article by author Douglas Fischer in the journal Scientific American. In "Scientists Quantify Global Warmings Threat to
Public Health" Fischer (2010) emphases that global warming is linked to everything from extreme heat waves, to smog, to flooding and these both directly and indirectly impact human health.
As Fischer (2010) points out, global warming is attributed in part to human activities. Our increased reliance on gasoline powered engines and specifically
the burning of fossil fuels such as coals, oils, and natural gas has resulted in carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and chlorofluorocarbon emissions that have accumulated in the atmosphere over
time and that have negatively impacted the stratospheric ozone shield. These gases absorb heat. The result is that heat can no longer escape from our atmosphere as effectively
as it once did. This couples with clear cutting that removes trees that actually serve to decrease atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The result is the progressive global climate
change that we refer to as global warming. Proponents of the theory of global warming contend that numerous environmental changes
indicate that there has been a serious disruption in the physical and chemical processes upon which the earths ecology is based. Many speculate that these changes are related to
