Dona Wininsky: Protect yourself in heat waves — and help combat climate change
- Abstract
Dear Editor: The high heat we are experiencing in Wisconsin is not just uncomfortable. It’s also part of a trend with potentially lethal health impacts. 2015 was the hottest year on record, and the previous hottest year was 2014. In fact, each of the last three decades has been successively warmer than any decade on record. Climate change is making heat waves more frequent and intense.
