GLOBAL WARMING: IS IT A REAL PROBLEM FOR HUMAN BODY

Abstract

With the Greenhouse gases increasing over the past decades, Global warming has become the most severe problem in climate and environment, lots of studies has done to signify the severe impact global warming has on human body and the environment. Various thermal comfort models has been developed to determine the suitable thermal environment for human body and well-being, however there exists few studies on whether human body could spontaneously adapt to the change in temperature brought by the global warming. This study aims to discover whether people’s body would accept the climate change, in other words, whether people’s thermal satisfaction at the same temperature would be affected by global warming.
