Climate impacts: why global warming is bad for your health. The costliest impact of climate change in Europe this century is likely to be on human health â and in particular heat-related deaths â according to a new economic assessment by the EU Joint Research Centre, the European Commissionâs in-house science service.
It is a global threat with real implications for everyone no matter where you live. Global warming is caused by a variety of gases and materials in our atmosphere; including huge amounts of carbon dioxide and methane from human activities such as extracting and burning fossil fuels, and clearing forests. These gases can trap heat in the atmosphere, causing steadily increasing temperatures.
