Climate Change poses lifelong Health risks to Future generations: Study
A new study by more than 120 global health experts showed that a rise in deadly infectious diseases and rampant malnutrition are two of the lifelong illnesses that climate change could bring to future generations. The report by the Lancet Countdown — a coalition of institutions including the World Health Organization — said water-borne bacteria that cause diarrhea can spread much faster due to a warming climate. Stocks of staple foods will plunge, leading to malnutrition that will weaken the immune systems of young children and can cause long-term developmental problems.
