INTRODUCTION

4. What is the impact of climate change on
the life cycles of micro-species?

5. 1. Climate Change and Micro-species
Climate change is natural and human caused (Patz, J.A. 2002).
The former is in accordance with the usual course of nature
while the latter is in accordance with the activity of men.
Warming of Earth atmosphere is evident, i.e., 0.5OC increased,
is partly attributed to such anthropogenic emission,
(McMichael, A.J. et.al. 2006). The increase of atmospheric
temperature is one of the indicators of climate change in a
certain region; the atmospheric temperature across the globe
varies.

6. The following are the impacts of climate change on the micro-species life
cycles:

Hence, the increase of the
number of human diseases in
different parts of the globe was a
clear manifestation that there was
a rapid increase in number of
bacterial population in every
country and within that context,
bacterial life cycles change its
replication phase.

7. b. Micro-algae

One of the currently identified issues presenting risks
and benefits to ocean health is climate change which
includes extreme weather, and natural events like
tsunamis, (Fleming, L.E., 2014). In US coastal waters,
harmful algal blooms increase with rapid frequency
during climate change (Jacobs, J. et.al. 2015). Some algal
blooms produce toxin that can cause disease in humans
that contact them. However, algal blooms can be also
attributed to chemical pollution and nutrient imbalances,
some researchers around the globe are linking algal
blooms to climate change (Shapiro, K. 2012).

8. c. Virus

The occurrence of viruses in different parts of
the globe indicate that there is an increase in
the population of viruses and this further
reveals that life cycle of viruses changes.

11. 2.Changes in micro-species life cycle
Environmental changes like increase of temperature and
increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) significantly
affect the entire ecosystem (Andresen, L.C., et.al. 2015).

12. CONCLUSION
Micro-species life cycles are affected by climate
change, and has the potential to mutate which
means that people’s health is at risk on the
emergence of micro-species at the advent of
climate change.
