The cost and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the consequences will become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people. This is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have.
People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and expanding crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal erosion, rising sea level, more erratic rainfall, and droughts.
The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including
seafood) that sustain people in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and insect pests that are limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also favorable.
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated, “Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.”
Dịch bài đọc:
Chi phí và lợi ích của sự nóng lên toàn cầu sẽ rất khác nhau giữa các khu vực. Đối với biến đổi khí hậu vừa phải, sự cân bằng có thể khó đánh giá. Nhưng sự thay đổi khí hậu càng lớn thì hậu quả sẽ càng trở nên tiêu cực. Sự nóng lên toàn cầu có thể sẽ khiến cuộc sống trở nên khó khăn hơn chứ không dễ dàng hơn đối với hầu hết mọi người. Điều này chủ yếu là do chúng tôi đã xây dựng cơ sở hạ tầng khổng lồ dựa trên khí hậu mà chúng tôi hiện có.
Người dân ở một số vùng ôn đới có thể được hưởng lợi từ mùa đông ôn hòa hơn, lượng mưa dồi dào hơn và mở rộng vùng sản xuất cây trồng. Nhưng người dân ở các khu vực khác sẽ phải chịu đựng những đợt nắng nóng gia tăng, xói mòn bờ biển, mực nước biển dâng cao, lượng mưa thất thường hơn và hạn hán. Các loại cây trồng, thảm thực vật tự nhiên, động vật hoang dã và thuần hóa (bao gồm cả hải sản) nuôi sống con người trong một khu vực nhất định có thể không thích ứng được với những thay đổi khí hậu của địa phương hoặc khu vực. Phạm vi của bệnh và côn trùng gây hại bị giới hạn bởi nhiệt độ có thể mở rộng, nếu các điều kiện môi trường khác cũng thuận lợi.
Trong báo cáo tóm tắt về tác động của biến đổi khí hậu, Hội đồng liên chính phủ về biến đổi khí hậu đã tuyên bố: “Nhìn chung, nhiều bằng chứng đã công bố chỉ ra rằng chi phí thiệt hại ròng do biến đổi khí hậu có thể là đáng kể và tăng theo thời gian. ”

Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example, rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance. After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show up in so many different ways.
Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months. Breast milk also tends to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenethylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!).
Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets. A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, and grapes. This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book “Why Your Child is Hyperactive”. Other researchers have had mixed results when testing whether the diet is effective.
Dịch bài đọc:
Các nhà khoa học vẫn chưa hiểu thấu đáo về cách cơ thể của một người trở nên nhạy cảm với một chất vô hại hoặc thậm chí lành mạnh đối với người bình thường. Ví dụ, sữa, lúa mì và trứng được xếp hạng trong số những thực phẩm tốt cho sức khỏe và được sử dụng rộng rãi nhất. Tuy nhiên, những thực phẩm này có thể khiến những người nhạy cảm với chúng phải chịu đựng rất nhiều. Lúc đầu, cơ thể của cá nhân không bị tổn hại khi tiếp xúc với chất này. Sau một khoảng thời gian khác nhau, thường dài hơn vài tuần, cơ thể trở nên nhạy cảm với nó và dị ứng bắt đầu phát triển. Đôi khi thật khó để biết liệu bạn có bị dị ứng thực phẩm hay không, vì nó có thể biểu hiện theo nhiều cách khác nhau.
Các triệu chứng của bạn có thể do nhiều vấn đề khác gây ra. Bạn có thể bị phát ban, nổi mề đay, đau khớp giống như viêm khớp, đau đầu, khó chịu hoặc trầm cảm. Các dị ứng thực phẩm phổ biến nhất là sữa, trứng, hải sản, lúa mì, quả hạch, hạt, sô cô la, cam và cà chua. Nhiều loại dị ứng trong số này sẽ không phát triển nếu trẻ sơ sinh không được cho ăn những thực phẩm này cho đến khi ruột của trẻ trưởng thành vào khoảng bảy tháng. Sữa mẹ cũng có xu hướng có tính chất bảo vệ. Chứng đau nửa đầu có thể được gây ra bởi thực phẩm có chứa tyramine, phenathylamine, bột ngọt hoặc natri nitrat. Các loại thực phẩm phổ biến có chứa những chất này là sô cô la, pho mát lâu năm, kem chua, rượu vang đỏ, cá trích ngâm, gan gà, bơ, chuối chín, thịt ướp muối, nhiều loại thực phẩm phương Đông và chế biến sẵn (hãy đọc nhãn!).
Một số người đã thành công trong việc điều trị chứng đau nửa đầu bằng cách bổ sung vitamin B, đặc biệt là B6 và niacin. Trẻ em hiếu động có thể được hưởng lợi từ việc loại bỏ các chất phụ gia thực phẩm, đặc biệt là chất tạo màu và thực phẩm chứa nhiều salicylat khỏi chế độ ăn của chúng. Một số trong số này là hạnh nhân, ớt xanh, đào, trà, nho. Đây là chế độ ăn kiêng được phổ biến bởi Benjamin Feingold, người đã viết cuốn sách “Tại sao con bạn hiếu động”. Các nhà nghiên cứu khác đã có kết quả khác nhau khi kiểm tra xem chế độ ăn kiêng có hiệu quả hay không.
