Although climate conditions, such as rainfall (amount, intensity and frequency) and temperature influence erosion processes, other anthropogenic factors, such as deforestation, forest fires, overgrazing, topography modifications and water management policy, have stronger impacts on land and soil. Unfortunately, the report does not describe any such evidence. During the summer months of 2009, a three- to fourfold increase in the registered number of diarrhoea cases was observed, which demonstrates the link between these groups of diseases and warmer temperatures.
