Despite virtually no concrete evidence to draw definitive co-relations between climate change and health, thereby making it difficult to predict outcomes, there have been still some attempts to study the potential problems stemming from global climate change as related to health.
The United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) The IPCC has now concluded with high confidence that climate change would cause:
• increased heat-related mortality and morbidity,
• decreased cold-related mortality in temperate countries,
• greater frequency of infectious disease epidemics following floods and storms, and,
• substantial health effects following population displacement from sea level rise and increased storm activity.

For North America, the IPCC concluded that insect-born diseases, such as malaria and dengue fever, may expand their ranges in the United States and may even develop in Canada.
Working families, the poor, the elderly and the disabled will be affected the most because they have the fewest resources.
