Description:	Science in the Public Health Scientists predict that global warming will have wide-ranging and mostly adverse effects on human health. Model projections suggest that weather changes will impact the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the animals around us. These environmental changes may lead to the spread of infections and adverse health conditions to new populations. How will the diseases that you worry about today be different from those that you will encounter tomorrow? Where is the latest research heading and what can be done to face upcoming challenges?
