摘要
The phenomenon of climate change is impacting the planet with notable effect. Polar ice is melting, ocean levels are rising, daily temperatures are increasing, forest fires are burning longer and destroying more residential areas, and urban air quality levels are deteriorating. At the same time, human health is experiencing the effects of exposure to changing climate. Research has indicated that extreme climactic conditions can shorten life expectancy and impact cardias, respiratory and mental health as well as facilitating the spread of some infectious diseases. The health related impacts of climate change merit serious attention in the patient and provider communities. Opportunities to effectuate meaningful changes are examined.
