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.
