¶ … global warming. The reality of global warming has raised alarm bells as well as intensive debate in many sectors of contemporary society. The implications of global warming and climate change are widespread and complex and affect every sector of modern society — including the social, economic and political dimensions.
The situation becomes even more problematic when we consider that we live in a world where international isolation and barriers between countries have been largely eradicated through modern travel and communications technologies. The effects and consequences of global warming therefore cannot be understood in isolation. This is an important factor to consider in terms of the present study. While environmental problems have always existed, they are”…increasingly global in nature because interdependence and globalization connect people and issues in new and different ways…” (Balaam and Veseth 432) As a result these climatic and environmental issues now become, “…more difficult to deal with than any single nation’s ability to solve them. (Balaam and Veseth 432)
In 1990 a panel of eminent scientists concluded after a lengthy investigation that global warming was a reality that could not be doubted. The Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPPC) stated that the main reason for global warming was increased emissions of carbon into the atmosphere. (Balaam and Veseth 444)
Among the many predicted effects of global warming is the social impact on aspects such as human health, migration and the displacement of people and resources. As will be discussed in this paper, these aspects also have implications for the economy and politics.
The issue of global warming has resulted in some dire prognostications for the future. It has been linked to factors, such as shortages of food supplies and the increase in infectious diseases, as well as changes in the various biological ecosystems of the world which are already experience problem in terms of human health. For example, the World Health Organization (WHO) has predicted that by 2030 climatic changes will cause the deaths of 300, 000 people annually. (D’emilio) It is estimated that in Asia a rise in the sea level coupled with an increase in the intensity of tropical cycles “would displace tens of millions of people in low-lying coastal areas
