Unseen Climate Health Impacts

When we think of climate change, we often think of its impact on the environment - rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and melting polar ice caps.

However, climate change also affects our health in ways that we don't always see.

1. Air Pollution: Climate change is making air pollution worse. As the Earth's temperature rises, more pollutants are released into the air, which can cause respiratory problems, heart disease, and even cancer.

2. Extreme Heat: Climate change is also making extreme heat events more common and more severe. These events can lead to heatstroke, dehydration, and even death.

3. Mental Health: Climate change can also affect our mental health. The stress of dealing with extreme weather events, air pollution, and other climate-related problems can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.

These are just a few of the unseen impacts of climate change on human health. As the climate continues to change, we need to be aware of these impacts and take steps to protect ourselves.
