…. 56% of U.S. adults between the ages of 18 and 45 say they are worried about the effects of climate change on children's physical health, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll. In a separate question, 71% of parents with children under the age of 18 say they are concerned about the impact that climate change will have on their children. This number rises to 79% of parents living in the western U.S.
"As a result of climate change, children are suffering more heat related illness, more asthma attacks from breathing forest fire smoke," Frederica Perera, a professor of environmental health sciences at Columbia University, told ABC News. Perera is also the author of the recent book "Children's Health and the Peril of Climate Change."
"They're suffering more physical injury and psychological trauma from severe storms and floods," she said. "Also, we're seeing more infectious diseases that are carried by ticks and malaria that have moved to new areas due to climate change and also from air pollution."
In one study published this year, Perera and her co-authors wrote fetuses, infants and children "can be vulnerable to exposure to air pollution and climate change."
"We used to think the placenta was a perfect barrier and the baby was literally in a cocoon, protecting them from the factors that the mother might experience in her environment," she said. "And that's not true. Air pollution is capable of reversing, moving across the placenta into the fetus."
"My number one goal is making sure now my children, but the future generations have clean air, clean water and public lands," Cantley said.

If it makes sense to be cool with aborting “fetuses”, and also worry about them being impacted by climate change ... you might be a Democrat.
right. better abort them before they have to experience that horrible climate change!
Fetuses are even more vulnerable to legal abortion. Let’s worry about that one first.
I wonder if they could possibly be affected by mRna gene modification
Good God...our Republic is being undermined by our own Federal government and these brain dead clowns write something as trivial and totally false like this.
So sayeth one grant whore...
Meanwhile stillbirths and spontaneous abortions are off the charts. Postmortem dissections are finding placentas that are inflamed and calcified, conditions that are normally very rarely seen.
Better abort them all for the planet.
If this isn’t a rogue government then we voted for this? I just pray a whole lot these days.
Were any of these crackpots alive in the 60’s when pollution was magnitudes worse than it is now.
“Fetuses can be vulnerable to climate change, air pollution exposure, says researcher”
Not the ones the Left has slaughtered.
Warning, sarcasm:
But the fetus is just a mass of cells. It’s not human. It’s legal to rip it to shreds because it’s not human. So why worry about the effects of pollution and “climate change”?
Apparently, they were the fetuses then, and just look what happened to their mental abilities!
The weather can effect a pregnant woman, glad we cleared that up.
So now ABC and Disney care about clumps of cells?
Fetuses are most vulnerable to crazed libtard abortionists
Good Point!
