Let’s limit carbon emissions

Abstract

On June 23, the U.S. Surgeon General, Vice Admiral Vivek H. Murthy, told health leaders gathered at the White House Summit on Climate Change and Health that climate change poses a “serious, immediate and global threat to human health,” urging that it is “well past time” to take action. Recent evidence makes it clear that the health impacts are already being felt today.
