"Climate Change Called Public Health Threat By Medical Journal"

"Climate change poses risks to human health just as pollution and lack of sanitation did a century ago, says a medical journal editorial that details the potential harmful health effects and the benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In Monday’s issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers reviewed studies on health risks related to climate change and the value of attempts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.

The research is being released as world leaders prepare for the UN summit on climate change in New York on Tuesday."

CBC News had the story September 22, 2014.
