RP Post #3 1. How will climate change affect future generations? 2. Climate Change & Human Health 3. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences 4. http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/programs/geh/climatechange/ 5. Website (www.niehs.nih.gov), 5/28/14 6. S: the possible effects of climate change on human health in the long term  O: the concern of the overall health of people  A: anyone who is interested in learning about the impact of climate change on health  P: to explain the serious problems climate change could have on human health and raise awareness of this controversial issue  S: John M. Balbus, Caroline Dilworth, Banalata, Kimberly Thigpen  Tone: informative, authoritative 7. This article focuses on one key aspect that could be affected by climate change: health. According to this article, human health is at great risk because climate change has causes many diseases and conditions that are present today; presumably these will worsen in the future if the damage caused to climate is not curbed. 8. The authors of this article demonstrate that climate change will affect the health of children, the poor, and the elderly. Climate change will eventually bring upon new types of pests and pathogens into new regions on earth. 9. I am persuaded by this article because the authors thoroughly explain their research and they use a clear diagram that helps the reader obtain a higher understanding of the main points of the article. 10. "Climate change makes many existing diseases and conditions worse, but it may also help introduce new pests and pathogens into new regions or communities" <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;"> " The most vulnerable people—children, the elderly, the poor, and those with underlying health conditions—are at increased risk for health effects from climate change." <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;"> "A changing climate impacts our health and wellbeing. The major public health organizations of the world have said that climate change is a critical public health problem." <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;"> "As the planet warms, oceans expand and the sea level rises, floods and droughts become more frequent and intense, and heat waves and hurricanes become more severe."

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;">1. How will climate change affect future generations? <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;">2. Make the kids pay: The economic effects of climate change on future generations <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;">3. Michael A. Livermore <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;">4. http://grist.org/article/make-the-kids-pay-the-economic-effects-of-climate-change-on-future-generati/ <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;">5. Website, 5/28/14 <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;">6. S: the economic impact of climate change <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;"> O: raise awareness for the conflicts involved with climate change <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;"> A: anyone who is interested in learning about the impact of climate change on the economy <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;"> P: to provide insight into the way the economy will be impacted by climate change <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;"> S: Michael A. Livermore, the executive director of the [|__Institute for Policy Integrity__] at New York University School of Law. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;"> Tone: informative, colloquial <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;">7. This article explains the effects of climate change on the economy. Livermore goes in depth on the way the economy will change and how future generations will be the target of this arising conflict. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;">8. All the costs that future generation will have to pay for because of climate change is unfathomable. Future generations will face many issues in regards to the economy due to climate change. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;">9. I am persuaded by Livermore's article because it clearly expresses his argument and uses statistics and evidence to support his claims throughout the article. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;">10. "The simple fact is that as we continue to use fuels that contribute to global warming today, we place major economic burdens on our kids and grandkids tomorrow." <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;"> "Every year that we don’t reduce emissions, we keep on piling onto the tab." <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;"> "When you measure up all of the costs we’re pushing onto future generations, there is a serious transfer of wealth from the cohort of global citizens who have yet to be born. " <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;"> "In effect, we are forcing future generations to retroactively subsidize our decision not to increase energy efficiency and move to cleaner fuels."
