“Climate change is affecting the health of children all the way across the world, every single child, today,” Nick Watts, an Australian doctor who is one of the lead authors on the report, told CTV’s Your Morning Thursday.
The number of Canadians exposed directly to wildfire averaged 35,300 between 2001 and 2004, but 54,100 between 2015 and 2018. That number does not include those exposed to wildfire smoke, which adds to the cardiovascular risks and lung diseases. "The life of every child born today will be profoundly affected by climate change," the report says. "Without accelerated intervention, this new era will come to define the health of people at every stage of their lives."
Dr. Courtney Howard, a Yellowknife-based emergency doctor who helped pen the Canadian briefing document out of the main report, said pushing the world to do more to slow global warming is critical because, after a certain point, we won't be able to adapt to the impacts. But she said there also needs to be more work done to adapt to the impacts we are already seeing.
During fires, most people are advised to stay indoors, but she said that advice was developed when a fire lasted only a few days. In 2017, some regions saw that advice daily for more than two months, which meant isolation that brought on unexpected mental-health problems. Also, she said, smoke will eventually penetrate a home exposed to it for days on end.
A huh
Today’s babies will face a lifetime of debt.
Not only has CTV become an opinion broadcaster, they are now predicting the future. Seriously someone should start copying everything that they publish for a class action lawsuit. Just sickening
Bull lol look at all the immigrants we bring in lol
God forbid anyone in power who could have done something about it the last 40 years do anything about it. No, but we get to have a teenager from abroad come give the powerless shit while everyone pats themselves on the back and drives home in luxury SUV’s.
And a lifetime of paying off massive debt , our debt ! Isn’t that right Justin !
I noticed you guys are echoing to same news as CNN latetly. You guys should report on Trudeaus ties to NXVIM and his involvement in U1.
Today's babies will face a risk from many things, of which climate change is but a minor issue.
snowflakes 👌👍
Kinda like how we have put up with all the whining all our lives? Gen X
You should concentrate on dealing with the racist you have working for you today instead of this crap....FireJessAllen
todays babies will grow up in poverty bowed under massive debt with no jobs available and this group of uneducated sheep will be the ones who brought it all down...never has a group literally marched for their own destruction ....
ClimateChangeHoax
Yes looking out at my yard full of snow in the second week of November and reading articles about world war 2 planes found under fifty feet of ice really have me concerned about this warming trend. Liberal UN news presented by CTV. But bringing in millions of migrants helps co2
This is bull!
People who believe this crap should make a pact to not reproduce. Hysterics don't make good parents anyway. NoClimateEmergency
Good thing we have a tax now, otherwise the world wound end in 12 years! Unfortunately, babies born today will never know the Canada that wasn’t controlled by the UN 😢 SAD
BS
“The sky is falling” (doomsday prophets have been predicting this for centuries).
Great protest all you want, but what action are you doing to make changes to the climate?
Today's babies will still be paying off the debt on Trudeau's stupidity. But hey, the weather - quick, let's all focus on that....
Bullshit
Another hair on fire...send money... report
!00% fake news reporting.
What 'experts' are we working with today?
So good to hear how ALL the carbon tax is helping the climate 🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️
