Global warming, the result of the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, has a significant impact on public health. Risks include respiratory, cardiovascular, infectious diseases, and mental health issues. This article discusses these risks and proposes responses at both the individual and government levels to mitigate the health effects of climate change.

Altruism is the tendency to help others selflessly. The word, as such, comes from the French altruisme, a voice derived from autrui, meaning 'another person' or 'the others'. It originally refers to Latin alter, which translates 'other'.

The term altruism was created in the 19th century by the French philosopher Augustus Comte to define a type of behavior opposed to selfishness.

People who act with altruism do so selflessly, without pursuing personal benefit, but with the aim of seeking the good of others.

An altruistic person, in this sense, is one who thinks of others before himself. It's someone who helps or supports those who need help without expecting anything in return.

Altruism is a very important value in society because it is based on solidarity and empathy with the other.
