YouDocs: Climate change is a health issue for YOU!

Abstract

When Martha and the Vandellas released “Heat Wave” on July 9, 1963, it took the world by storm. Fifty- three years later, as heat waves blister the planet and world- record-busting temperatures have been recorded in nine of the past 10 years, they’re creating serious health challenges for millions of you. The American College of Physicians recently stated that “Climate change poses a catastrophic risk to human health” and that physicians have a crucial role to play in fighting it. So do YOU.
