"UN Sounds Warning On Climate Change Health Threat"

"Climate change poses a health threat through increasing weather disasters and extreme heat, the UN said Thursday, calling for better warning systems that could be weaved into public health policy.

"Climate change threatens to reverse decades of progress towards better health and well-being, particularly in the most vulnerable communities," the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization said.

The WMO said climate information was not sufficiently integrated into health service planning."
