ThePublicMindDenver | Fevered: How a Hotter Planet Will Hurt Our Health - Linda Marsa @ThePublicMindDenver | Uploaded November 2013 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Talk by Linda Marsa author of Fevered: Why a Hotter Planet Will Hurt Our Health -- and how we can save ourselves recorded at the Boulder Bookstore on October 10, 2013.
Beyond images of emaciated polar bears and drought-cracked lakes, there remains a major part of climate change's impact that the media has neglected: how our health will suffer from higher temperatures and extreme weather. From spiraling rates of asthma and allergies and spikes in heatstroke-related deaths to swarms of invasive insects carrying diseases like dengue or West Nile and increases in heart and lung disease and cancer, the effect of rising temperatures on human health will be far-reaching, and is more imminent than we think.
