Effects climate change has on the health of children, including increasing risks of asthma, Lyme disease, and heat stroke, are being highlighted in a new Ontario public health initiative.,” which will teach parents and caregivers how to protect children who are disproportionately affected by the harmful effects of climate change.
The goal of the program is to “empower parents” and also provide them information and tools to act on climate change within their communities. Research shows longer, drier summers can trigger asthma, which is one of the leading reasons why children are admitted into hospitals, according to theChildren would be among the most vulnerable when the Greater Toronto Area is projected to experience 30 extreme heat days annually between 2021 and 2050, and over 50 extreme heat days by 2080, according to educational resourceToronto Public Health reported that heat-related mortality could double to 240 people per year by 2050.
Other troublesome effects of climate change for parents include Lyme disease-carrying tick populations that are spreading beyond their traditional breeding grounds because climate change is making new regions warmer.
More fear mongering!
Good op-Ed 🤣
It doesn't, but you trying to brainwash our children sure does. You truly are the enemy of the people, and you'll be held accountable soon enough.
Does anybody remember in the late 80s when there was a hole in the ozone layer LOL
Mentally. Lying and stressing out children over government greed should be a mother fking crime.
Yes asthma from all of air pollution, Lyme disease because government do not want to spend money on exterminating tick's and heat stroke because all park's and facilities that been provided are crap.
There is nothing abnormal, beyond natural variation, happening today. We are less cold, summer heatwaves are fewer & our CO2 is greening the planet.
It doesn't. Pushing false narratives on children is called brainwashing. That is the real problem.
Scaretactic
Nothing like scaring the kids with the boogey man
Imagine if you will that climate change will indeed warm the earth then Canada will get warmer and be able to grow more food to feed the world and be more hospitable in general or win win for Canada not we're doomed.
Is this an April Fools joke
The aim of this, I'm sure, is to scare the shi*t out of kids and make them as neurotic as their parents.
Shut the tv off!!
Omg really lol
More fear mongering from the far left money sucking climate 'ya we got it wrong but were still going to push the misleading info' machine?
Step 1: Turn off the tv news. That is all.
