Vanessa Kerry: The wildfires in Hawaii are another wake-up call that the climate crisis imperils our health
The Chicago Tribune ^ | August 16, 2023 | By Vanessa Kerry

Posted on 08/16/2023 3:33:31 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The world is on fire.

The devastating wildfires in Maui have led to at least 99 deaths with many hundreds more people unaccounted for and injured. We have seen homes and livelihoods destroyed and hospitals overwhelmed with smoke and burn victims.

These wildfires, fanned by winds from Hurricane Dora after years of drought, have undoubtedly been made worse by climate change.

We need to wake up to the fact that climate change is driving a vicious cycle of extreme weather conditions that are killing people. Without a doubt, the climate crisis is also a health crisis.

We must start reducing our greenhouse gas emissions immediately. We must invest in human well-being, such as resilient health systems that can ensure adaptation to the growing burdens of disease and impacts of extreme weather and heat that are killing us daily.

We are facing a choice. And our leaders are making the wrong one. Our very human survival is on the line. We can choose differently, and we must.

The apocalyptic challenges we confront today reflect a third pandemic — one of poor and expedient choices by world leaders, the private sector and a powerful few who drive the decisions that continue to harm our planet and its population.

We must pivot to a new ambitious path. Otherwise, our health and our survival are in peril.

I’m sure she never flies on private planes anywhere like her daddy.

From June...

Dr Vanessa Kerry appointed as WHO Director-General Special Envoy for Climate Change and Health

It's good to have low friends in high places.

She’s also CEO of something called Seed Global Health.

Bet that could use some scrutiny.

Is this the horse faced Kerry that was bedded in a nano second by leftist loon John Cusack? Or was that a different horse faced Kerry daughter?

“after years of drought”

This is untrue. Rain levels are a little low on the island for the year. Wild fires have become the greenies favorite example of climate warming. They also have the advantage of being manmade. Lucky for us, hurricanes and tornados can’t be set.

And exactly what is the connection?

Why isn't your "wake-up call" just another knee-jerk reaction....like calling for gun control every time a gun is fired in America?

Anything that happens is a result of climate change.

Apparently, the Left has never heard the story about the little boy who cried wolf.

When you scream "climate change will end the world" every time it rains or snows, you damage your credibility.

This article sounds like it is written by a 4th grader. A stupid 4th grader. The rantings of extreme privilege.
