Over 230 medical journals are out with a unified message: Global warming is affecting people’s health—and world leaders need to address the climate crisis now as it can’t wait until the COVID-19 pandemic is over.
Over 230 medical journals are out with a unified message: Global warming is affecting people’s health—and world leaders need to address the climate crisis now as it can’t wait until the COVID-19 pandemic is over.
This is the first time so many medical publications have come together to issue such a joint statement to world leaders. The editorial carried in the 230+ journals is blunt:
“The greatest threat to global public health is the continued failure of world leaders to keep the global temperature rise below 1.5C and to restore nature. Health is already being harmed by global temperature increases and the destruction of the natural world.”
Medical professionals are drawing a direct correlation between climate change and health.
John, the warning from these doctors and scientists must not be ignored by our elected officials and world leaders. Climate change is a health threat.

The head of the World Health Organization is also calling climate change a health crisis. In a statement, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the “Risks posed by climate change could dwarf those of any single disease. We will end the COVID-19 pandemic, but there’s no vaccine for the climate crisis.”
With heat-related mortality rates among people older than 65 rising by more than 50% in the past 20 years, the medical profession calls for immediate action to combat climate change.
