Climate Change Hits Pregnant Women

One of the adverse impacts of climate change on earth is the increase in heat. According to an article Climate Change: Global Temperature by Rebecca Lindsey and Luann Dahlman, there has been an increase of about one degrees Celsius in the global average surface temperature since the pre-industrial era of 1850-1900. The report mentions that while this increase may seem small, it actually signifies a significant accumulation of heat. It is projected that the Earth's average temperature will rise by nearly three degrees by the end of the century. This increase in heat is driving regional and seasonal temperature extremes, reducing snow cover and sea ice, intensifying heavy rainfalls, and changing habitat ranges for plants and animals.
