Climate change is damaging the lifelong health of the world's children, medical officials warn

"Children are particularly vulnerable to the health risks of a changing climate," said Nick Watts, executive director of The Lancet Countdown, an annual report tracking connections between public health and climate change.

If greenhouse gas emissions continue at the current rate, the atmosphere will warm up by 1.5˚C in about 20 years. Warming starting at 2˚C, according to a recent report from the U.N.'s scientific panel on climate change. Children are more susceptible to infectious diseases exacerbated by rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns, according to the report. For example, climate change is causing the spread of dengue fever, a mosquito-borne disease.

Premature deaths from outdoor air pollution reached 2.9 million worldwide in 2016. More than 440,000 of those deaths were from coal emissions, according to the report.

That picture is about pollution not climate.

You mean pollution right?

False. Pollution is damaging the children. Nothing that is a greenhouse gas is a pollutant.. yet somehow they trap heat.. which shows how illogical 'climate change' is.. which is why its a fake narrative.

Experts say that, huh?

Do his parents want to provide him with the lifestyle of 70 years before? No car, no enough nutrition...

And many Americans today care more about continuing their traditional lives, unchanged, than what happens to their children.

I’m guessing that picture is about pollution.

It's your fault.
