Climate change impacts on health

Abstract

Climate change also affects the psyche. In higher temperatures, we are more aggressive, says the physiologist
The part of the planet where the temperature rises above 50 degrees Celsius due to climate change will remain uninhabitable. The human body cannot adapt to such a temperature. According to thermal physiologist Hilde Færeviková from the Norwegian research center SINTEF, the increasing heat will also lead to an increase in aggression in society. These topics, i.e. the impact of global climate change on human health, are being addressed for the first time this year by the UN climate conference COP28.
