Climate change poses risks to human health. In the United States, we are already seeing rising temperatures, increased frequency and intensity of some types of extreme weather, sea level rise, and other changes in weather and climate patterns (for more, see EPA’s climate indicators).We are all vulnerable to the health impacts associated with climate change. However, these climate and health risks vary across the country.
