Doctors, healthcare workers sound alarm over health risks of climate change
France24 ^ | June 3, 2021

A growing number of doctors and front-line healthcare workers are turning to climate activism to urge global leaders to declare climate change a public health emergency.

Doctors and health workers, some clad in white coats and brandishing placards, marched to the headquarters of the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Geneva on Saturday to demand that health authorities and governments prioritise climate change to avert a global health crisis.

Underscoring the progressive nature of their platform, the protesters also called for the creation of citizen assemblies to steer strategic health decisions. Their demands were listed in a petition, signed by more than 1,200 prominent doctors and healthcare workers from around the world.

WHO chief Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who welcomed the protesters, said that while “the pandemic will end, there is no vaccine for climate change”. He later tweeted that health and climate change were “inextricably intertwined" and that the WHO would be “standing in solidarity and urging global action” with the demonstrators.

Front-line health workers and researchers may have been sounding the alarm on climate change for years, but it is only recently that more voices have stepped up to lead rallies, sign petitions and publish studies with the same fierce urgency as grassroots activists.

There is no angle our elites won’t use to get us out of our private vehicles and homes, and stop having babies.

Anyone pushing the “climate change” agenda is either in on it or a useful dupe.

It seems that nature is helping us to get more kozy.
If you believe this crap, to save yourself from the perils of climate change, move to Minnesota.

Here in NJ there has been no “warming” - and south Jersey, which always had a climate more akin to the Carolinas, is dealing with snow and ice consistently for the first time in memory. They never had a lot of the tools to deal with it (salt spreaders, snow plows); they have them now!

The notion that a warmer greener world with more rain,
longer growing seasons and more arable land could be
sold as the “Existential Crisis of Our Time” is testimony
to the greatest propaganda triumph of all time.
