Since the nineteenth century, average temperature of the earth has increased resulted from the greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. There are many possible impacts of rising temperature to the human health: injuries during natural disasters, malnutrition during famine, and mortality during heat waves. Also, natural disasters could have an impact on mental health; there is even a connection between climate and civil violence. Over the next years, the amount of agricultural resources could decrease due to reduced availability of water and increased pollution. Finally, climate change also alters the distribution of infectious diseases outbreaks associated with weather extreme events.

To research on the effect of climate change on human health, there should be a detailed background about the climate change from its causes and impacts to its possible solutions. This article will serve as an background information about the climate change and also provide a general idea of its impacts on human health in various aspects.
