Living in a warm climate provides many benefits
Why do retired people who live in cold climates travel to warmer climates for the winter? Why do people who live in cold climates take vacations to warm climates in the winter? There are several reasons to why living in warm weather is beneficial and attractive. Living in a warm climate provides many benefits such as a healthier lifestyle, the ability to do more outdoor activities, and economic advantages.
First reason-Healthy Lifestyle
1.MOOD-ATTITUDE-First, a healthy lifestyle is essential to a person’s attitude which is improved in a warm climate. People tend to be moody in colder weather, rather than warm weather. For example, people who live in cold climates look forward to a trip somewhere warm in the winter months to improve their mood. There is a positive impact in mental health when the sun is out for most people, according to the University of Michigan research. "Life is full of color and life is fun. It's easy to forget that during the wintertime," says Agent J. Keller from University of Michigan. Therefore, warm weather has a positive impact on people’s moods and attitudes.
2. VITAMIN D ENERGY-Furthermore, warmer climate can contribute to a healthier lifestyle in many ways. A human’s Vitamin D levels are affected by how much time spent in the sun. Vitamin D is a nutrient received from the sun. Vitamin D provides higher levels of energy. “The sun is the first and primary source of Vitamin D in our bodies,” says Doctor Nicolas Campos from Los Angeles, California.
3. VITAMIN D CANCER-One of the reasons people avoid the sun is because they don’t want to get skin cancer. which makes your bones stronger and can help prevent cancer. By getting a healthy amount of sunlight, y...

2. HOME MAINTENANCE-Also home maintenance expenses are higher in cold climates. For example, roof leaks, and reinsulate for doors and windows. “Almost every part of a house expands and contracts as weather changes from cold to warm, which causes the house to move,” Says Dave Kludt.
3. AUTO EXPENSE-Car insurance can be a hassle when living in a colder climate, which leaves warmer climate at a lower expense. Driving a car in cold weather, compared to warmer climate can be very costly. There are supplies needed if ever stranded, and high insurance rates. In areas with warmer climate there are less car crashes, due to the fact that there are not any icy roads. Cars use more fuel in cold weather, car engines don’t last as long in cold weather. Four wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles are more expensive and necessary in cold climates
High temperature causes the glaciers to melt which raises the sea level on earth which will cause having more frequent flooding and very low-lying land could get submerged completely, It will also affect the food as too much water flowing into the agricultural lands will spoil the
In Australia the climate is expected to become significantly warmer. Noting that the impacts of climate change will vary from region to
Climate change has become of the world’s major issue today. The earth’s climate is always changing in a very fast and also in different ways. Climate changes affect our lives psychologically, emotional and also physically. Climate change is defined as a long term change in the earth’s climate, especially a change due to the increase in the average atmospheric temperatures. Due to this change in temperature, a lot of changes has occurred in our environment, these changes include rising sea levels, flooding, melting of polar ice caps, hotter days, colder nights and heat waves. These climate changes plays an important role in shaping our natural ecosystem, our human economics and also the most important, it affects the human race. For

The warming of the air brings with it a change in weather patterns across the globe. This change in weather patterns will include an increase in weather extremes such as, storms and drought. The type of extreme depends on a specific region with drought expected to increase in the dry tropics and with the frequency of tropical storms and rainfall expected to increase in the wet tropics.
A healthy body requires vitamin D. Life of modern people who are living busy everyday can be the cause of osteoporosis. The time exposing into the sun is not long enough, so would not produce vitamin D. It may cause osteoporosis because of lack of vitamin D that makes strong foot bones. Therefore, thirty minutes are necessary to bathe in the sunlight a day. In fact, calcium relies on vitamin D to help it travel around the body.The people’s body can make vitamin D under the sunlight, but people’s skin needs to be protected from sunlight. The best sources are fish, including salmon, and mackerel; milk, and yogurt; mushrooms; and eggs. People need to take a supplement to be a healthy person because few foods are rich in vitamin D (Escherich, K 2009).
Vitamin D is one of the essential nutrients that we need in our bodies and what makes us healthy. Vitamin D's functions in the body by digesting calcium, which both calcium and vitamin D can keep bones and strong and healthy, and constrain the release of parathyroid hormone. This hormone consumes bone tissue, which provides the bones thin and fragile. Also, vitamin D can enact as a role in muscle formation and the immune system, which the immune system can prevent illnesses and fight off infections. Therefore, adding vitamin D to a diet can reduce the risk of falling in among the elderly. There are three sources where you can acquire vitamin D: sun exposure, diet, and supplements. Skin exposure to ultraviolet (UV) sunlight is one of the common sources that you can obtain vitamin D, but it varies in different factors of the season including less sunshine in winter months, the time of the day, the amount of cloud cover and air pollution, and where you live. There are a variety of foods that also contain
... more disease friendly conditions in regions that did not previously host diseases or disease carriers (climate.org). Climate change speeds up the spread of disease largely because warmer temperatures increase the geographical range in which disease carrying animals and insects can survive (climate.org). Climate change contributes to the increased occurrence of extreme events such as floods, storms, droughts, and uncontrolled fires which can also have a negative effect on human health (climate.org). Floods can spread bacteria and viruses and can also contribute to the breeding of insects (climate.org). All of these things together will have huge implications on human health. We could expect to see a higher infection rate as well as a higher death rate among some areas. We could also expect children and the elderly to get sick and possibly die more often as well.
When climate change occurs there are a few major effects that are critical to climate change. First the sun passes through the clear atmosphere with its solar rays which then reach the earth's surface. Then, about 70% of the sun’s solar rays are absorbed by the earth surface making the temperature rise while the rest go back into the atmosphere. Some of the rays escape back out into space, while some are absorbed by gases in the atmosphere. These gases are important because they allow the sun to heat the earth and then the gases get trapped, making the earth warmer. They trap the heat like a big blanket to maintain the planet at a stable temperature.

The biggest difference between summer and winter is the climate. One of the main attractions of summer is the warm weather. I like being outside on a bright sunny day, and letting the sun warm my body. I also like that we get an occasional thunder storm. The excitement fills the air when I see the thunder clouds rolling in. The sound of thunder, and the lighting shows that come from the storms are fascinating. On the other hand winter i...
Many effects are occurring due to these temperature rises such as increased droughts which are expected to keep getting longer and more severe in the future. Extreme weather events, in particular storms are becoming stronger due to the upper layers of the ocean becoming warmer, higher air temperatures and higher evaporation rates. In the future is expected that heavier snowstorms and rainstorms will happen more often, and these storms could increase in intensity as the climate becomes warmer.
Climate change is likely to increase disease risk and mortality and increase communicable diseases. In order to stop the climate change, we can limit the amount of deforestation and more trees can have more green plants. small trees can improve the environment climate, keep the air humidity and its photosynthesis can effectively absorb carbon dioxide, then the air is more fresh and clean. Because of the climate change, there will be droughts in some dry areas, such as Southern Africa, Southern Asia, Mediterranean, Sahel region of Africa and United States Southwest. The resources of water in these dry areas will decrease. In these areas, the climate change has a huge impact on people's lives, and it can cause them to die. If we do not take climate change seriously, then the world will become more and more hot, and we will lack of water. It is impossible for people to change the climate right away, it takes
Climate change will have an impact on global temperature. Greenhouse gases, emitted by power plants, automobiles, and fossil fuels, are keeping more heat in the Earth's atmosphere. This heat trapping is causing average temperatures to rise all over the world. “During the 20th century, the Earth’s average temperature rose 1°F to its highest level in the past four centuries this is believed to be the fastest rise in a thousand years” (NASA Global Climate Change, 2014). This increase in temperature is projected to rise year by year. “As temperatures rise globally, droughts will become frequent and more severe. It also raises potential harmful effects for farming, contaminated water supply, and future health conditions” (nature, 2014). Hot temperatures and dry conditions also increase the chances of forest fires.
The Centers for Disease Control have been involved in studying global warming's effect on human health. Its affect on the climate can adversely affect humans. Plagues have been attributed to global warming. An increase in temperature can result in a longer life cycle for diseases or the agents spreading them.” Global warming will lead to more precipitation, which enables infectious diseases to be more easily contracted and spread.” (2) Effects of global warming on human health might not be immediately detected.
