Global warming is turning the climate against our lungs
Original: How global warming turns the climate against the lungs
A new report outlines how global warming is worsening respiratory health worldwide. Rising temperatures drive longer pollen seasons, higher concentrations of allergens and air pollutants, and more frequent wildfires, all of which aggravate asthma, allergies and chronic lung disease. The piece argues that climate change should be treated as a direct public health threat, and calls on European healthcare systems to prepare for a growing burden of climate-linked respiratory illness.
Why now: Heatwaves, wildfires and longer pollen seasons are making climate-linked respiratory illness an increasingly urgent health concern.
