02. Search the local newspapers of your country for articles about climate change.: Our Answer: We have managed to get a copy of Sunday news paper of May 17 ,2009 that has an article titled "Climate biggest threat of health". The article says climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century according to leading meadical journal. Direct problems that have been mentioned include mass migrations, increase of diseases such as salmonella that is expected to rise due to temperature changes. Also mentioned instability of floods and water supplies. Solutiuons that have been proposed in the article include improving healthcare systems in each country to be prepared for such health hazards and talk about health problems caused by climate change in every climate change conference. There is high priority in climate change articles in Tanzania, we have weekly reports and articles about climate change in both swahili and english newspapers. The headline that caught my eye and impressed most is "Climate biggest threat of health" because it shows that climate does not only affect nature but also human health systems. The headline I will give for an article about climate change will be "Climate change a serious global disaster"
