☆ Explainer: COP27: How climate change impacts countries around the world
  + stars: | 2022-11-09 | by ( Gloria Dickie | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, Nov 9 (Reuters) - While delegates at the COP27 climate conference discuss the shared problem of climate change, each country will face its own challenges and threats. In February, the U.N. climate science agency released a major report on adapting to a warmer world - and detailed how that effort would differ from place to place. While some countries see glaciers melt or coastlines rise, others will contend mostly with raging wildfires and extreme heat, the report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said. A World Bank report warned in September that climate impacts, including water scarcity and declining crop yields, could force some 216 million to migrate within their own countries by 2050. And in the Arctic, melting sea ice, warming temperatures, and thawing permafrost will push many species to the brink of extinction.
☆ Doctors decry 'record profits' for fossil fuel companies as climate change weighs on global health
  + stars: | 2022-10-25 | by ( Evan Bush | Evan Bush Is A Science Reporter For Nbc News. He Can Be Reached At Evan.Bush Nbcuni.Com. | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +6 min
The report’s theme reflects a growing frustration and helplessness expressed by medical professionals left to deal with the impacts of climate change as world leaders struggle to address the root cause. The annual report catalogs the health impacts of change worldwide and a separate policy brief outlines impacts in the U.S. Tiny particles released into the air as pollution during fossil fuel use were responsible for 1.2 million deaths in 2020. Climate change is taking a toll on mental health. The report notes growth in renewable energy investment, increasing media coverage of climate change and growing engagement from government leaders on health-centered climate policies.
☆ Pakistan floods: Children face a new disaster -- diarrhea, dengue and other waterborne diseases

A sick baby waits to be seen at the Mother and Child Healthcare Hospital in Pakistan’s Sindh province. Credit: Javed Iqbal/CNNDozens more children sleep cramped together on beds in the facility’s emergency room; some unconscious from their illness, others crying in pain. And then our patients came in like the floods,” said Dr. Nazia Urooj, physician in-charge at the hospital’s children emergency unit. This is the face of a near unprecedented health crisis unfolding across Pakistan – but for many, help is not arriving. In Sindh, one of the worst-impacted provinces, villages have been completely cut off, making it nearly impossible for families to seek help for their sick children.
☆ 3 charts show how extreme climate helped spread 218 infectious diseases, from leprosy to COVID-19

A new study shows extreme weather, ocean changes, and land disruption have already helped spread more than 200 pathogens. That's an extreme case of climate change creating new contact between humans and infectious diseases, but the phenomenon is widespread. Extreme heat waves, for example, can kill off many infectious viruses, bacteria, fungi, and the creatures that spread them. Whatever survives, however, is adapted to extreme heat — including the fever our bodies produce to kill off pathogens. David Ryder/Getty ImagesHumans and their infrastructure are more vulnerable to the devastating impacts of disease when they're compromised by extreme weather.
☆ O bacterie "miraculoasă" introdusă în țânțari a micşorat cazurile de febră Dengue cu 77%

Oamenii de știință au folosit țânțari infectați cu o bacterie "miraculoasă", care reduce capacitatea insectei de a răspândi virusul. Febra Dengue nu era o boală cunoscută acum 50 de ani, însă s-a transformat într-o pandemie lentă și numărul cazurilor a crescut puternic. Wolbachia nu rănește țântarul, însă bacteria este găzduită de insectă în aceeași parte a corpului pe unde intră virusul care provoacă febra Dengue. Orașul indonezian Yogyakarta City a fost împărțit în 24 de zone, iar țânțarii au fost eliberați în doar jumătate dintre acestea. Doctorul Yudiria Amelia, coordonatorul programului de prevenenire a bolilor din Yogyakarta City, s-a declarat încâtată de rezultat.
