Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

24.4K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

13.5K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

18.5K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Requirements for Human Life

8.2K
The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.
Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

616
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Public Health Policy
  • Climate Change Science

Background:

  • Widespread consensus exists on the existential threat of climate change from diverse global leaders.
  • Physicians increasingly encounter patients suffering direct health consequences of climate change.
  • This public health crisis disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, including children, pregnant women, and those with chronic conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To underscore the urgent need for physicians to engage in meaningful actions addressing the climate crisis.
  • To highlight the multifaceted roles physicians can play beyond direct patient care.
  • To emphasize the opportunity climate change presents for advancing global health.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of expert warnings and societal consensus on climate change impacts.
  • Review of physician awareness and patient experiences related to climate-sensitive health issues.
  • Examination of the Lancet Journal Countdown Report's findings on health indicators.

Main Results:

  • A majority of U.S. physicians report treating patients with climate change-related health harms.
  • Physicians recognize the broad public health risks and disparities associated with climate change.
  • The Lancet Journal Countdown Report (2016) indicated climate change could reverse decades of public health progress.

Conclusions:

  • Physicians have a critical responsibility to address climate change through their roles as clinicians, educators, institutional leaders, and civic participants.
  • Proactive engagement by health professionals is essential to mitigate climate-related health threats.
  • Addressing climate change offers a significant opportunity to enhance global health and save lives.
