In what ways does climate change negatively impact us? TheCenters for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) states that health effects can include respiratory and cardiovascular disease, injuries and deaths related to extreme weather events, changes in food-and water-borne illnesses, and other infectious...
The impact of these climate hazards on health does not end there. From the spread of infectious diseases due to flooding orwarmer climates, to the disruption of food systems by extreme weather, the knock-on effects of climate change are felt everywhere and will hit the world's most vulnerable...
Recent flooding both on the continent and in London has been making headlines due to the severity, impacts and records broken. Extreme heat globally is also becoming increasingly commonplace, but how much of this is due to weather variations and how much is down to the changing climate?
