Health News Blog: WHO News World Health Organization reports worsening international death toll from human instigated Climate Change: September 24, 2007 by George Adams  San Francisco-based Ecobridge documents that a study, by scientists at the WHO determined that 154,000 people die every year from the effects of global warming, from malaria to malnutrition, children in developing nations seemingly the most vulnerable. These numbers could almost double by 2020. "We estimate that climate change may already be causing in the region of 154,000 deaths... a year," Professor Andrew Haines of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine told a climate change conference in Moscow. Haines said the study suggested climate change could "bring some health benefits, such as lower cold-related mortality and greater crop yields in temperate zones, but these will be greatly outweighed by increased rates of other diseases." Haines mentioned that small shifts in temperatures, for instance, could extend the range of mosquitoes that spread malaria. Water supplies could be contaminated by floods, for instance, which could also wash away crops. These estimates are arguably very conservative, but shows a trend of worsening casualties associated with destructive Climate Change.
