Description

Most Americans understand that climate change is real and are concerned about it. But most still see climate change as a far away threat, in both time and place, and as something that threatens the future of polar bears but not necessarily people. The reality, however, is starkly different: climate change is already causing problems in communities in every region of our nation, and from a doctor’s perspective, it’s harming our health.
