Climate change could "halt and reverse" progress made in human health over the last century.
The grim analysis comes from one of the authors of a new report in the New England Journal of Medicine that suggests rising global temperatures could lead to many more deaths than the 250,000 a year the World Health Organization predicted just five years ago.
An editorial accompanying the report urges medical professionals to take this report seriously. Its co-author, Dr. Caren Solomon, suggests doctors have a "special responsibility to safeguard health and alleviate suffering," and that mission should include working quickly to curtail greenhouse gas emissions.
Health care workers, she said, should encourage their organizations to reduce their carbon footprint.
Solomon said physicians can also pressure politicians to create better climate change-oriented public policy and put pressure on groups to use financial divestment as a tool.
Doctors can also help educate patients and motivate people to act.
"We all know that prevention in medicine is enormously more effective and efficient, rather than waiting for full blown disease. We view climate change in the same manner and know that if we take action immediately, we can avoid the catastrophic health effects that are projected," Solomon said.

bbb…….bbbbu…..bbb…..bbbut I thought the Earth was overpopulated. So this is a good thing, right?
Seeing how most of them favor the death of the unborn I am a bit skeptical of the concern. Seems it’s the timing they object to not the mortality rates.
The Maldives (which would be among the first islands to be swallowed up by allegedly higher sea levels are still above water and doing quite well. How can this be?
People are waking to the hoax and increasingly refusing to scuttle their way of life to advance the fortunes of leftwing dictator wannabes so they have to revisit their scare report and warn that it was really really not scary enough, please donate all your wealth to the left now and those lives will be spared.

I was hoping they would try to present a fact.
250,000. I heard it was 100 gazillion, fabilion, quadrillion, jazillion from noted economist, OAC..
I wouldn’t go out to CNN website if you made me CEO. But for shiites and giggles, what exactly are people dying from by being exposed to “globull warning?”

Oh please Ms. Doctor Ms. do try doing open heart surgery in a low carbon fuel medical facility. Just be sure to keep those morgue drawers ready.
Eating carrots has an eventual death rate of 100%.
Don’t the libs want a 90% reduction in the earth population? Why are they not enjoying the deaths?
Follow the money.
Easy fix. Every time someone dies,
plant a tree.
The number one cause of brain death: watching cnn.
