Daniel Weiss and Robin Pam for The Center for American Progress have recently published an article that focuses on the human side of the global warming crisis.
They discuss the most severe health effects linked to global warming include the following:
1. More illness and death resulting from heat waves.
2. Worsening air pollution causes more respiratory and cardiovascular disease.
3. Vector-borne disease infections will rise.
4. Changing food production and security may cause hunger.
5. More severe and frequent wildfires will threaten more people.
6. Flooding linked to rising sea levels will displace millions.
The time to act is now.
