Abstract
Introduction: •The average annual temperature in Vermont has gradual increased roughly 1° Centigrade with an increase of 1.16 inches of annual precipitation over the past 112 years. •According to expert analysis, humans are responsible for 60% of the warming overthe past 140 years. •Projected greater than 1° Centigrade increase in global temperature by 2100 and a correlated rise in precipitation. •Climate changes result in the introduction and reproduction of non-endemic flora and fauna. •Vector-borne diseases accompany warming trends and can become endemic and cause new illnesses in areas which were previously uninhabitable.
