We’re used to hearing about the effects of climate change on our environment and natural systems: how it’s raising sea levels, intensifying hurricane storm surges, worsening droughts, and prolonging wildfire seasons. Not everyone realizes that the events fueled by climate change are causing costly health problems, so NRDC connects the dots and encourages governments to take action. A new study by NRDC and the University of California, San Francisco, shows that climate change is taking a huge toll on Americans’ health, so much so that it could constitute a public health crisis. NRDC’s analysis paints a clear picture of what these expensive climate change–driven health impacts are and what’s needed to ensure we don’t pay for climate change in the form of illness, injuries and lost lives.
