“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.
The Lancet report says fossil fuel use contributes to air pollution, which caused 2.9 million premature deaths globally in 2016.
Good grief! Another day, another junk speculative climate alarm report. Give it a rest CTV. You are abusing your viewers.

FEARMONGERS
Stop having kids
I live in southwestern Ontario where full-blown winter has shown up 5 weeks early. I have been patiently waiting for this climate change/global warming for a very long time. I always thought it was BS but held onto hope regardless. Where is it?
Is this study backed by 11000 scientists?
Yet the actual cause of those stats is OVERPOPULATION, not climate change. Keep pushing though you’re fooling many!
not saying cc is a hoax, but why so fast to jump to the conclusion that its bad? What I see here is we would have more land to grow things in the poles and deserts may vanish.
Yes, profoundly affected by climate alarmists and governments over-taxing and regulating every aspect of their lives, unnessisarily causing financial hardships and mental anguish
Earliest coldest weeks in Canada being reported. Climate disasters my ass.
hodgins_debra That sucks
Yeah you should see all the snow heating up my back yard a month early. Thank God that if we send money to the UN we will be ok even if the China and India and the rest of the world continue to do nothing
I hear that's a great icebreaker topic at parties. itstheendoftheworld
... and unless we demand electoral reform, Canadian voters will never have the power to address this life-or-death issue because the plutocrats will continue to ignore us. ERfirst FairVoteCanada
ClimateCultBS Please stop with the fearmongering
The climate has been changing since the planet formed. The endless fear mongering accomplishes nothing. The media whores get paid well for their propaganda though
Fear porn
Please shut up about this climate nonsense!!!!!!!!
Yes, their lives will be profoundly affected by rising taxes and costs of living, as well as loss of jobs like auto manufacturing and oil related jobs. Stop climate alarmism.
What a load of garbage. This is getting unbelievable with lies from the propaganda machines.
Global warming is just a scam and cash grab. Al Gore's new found wealth proves that 1 billion time over.
ClimateChangeHoax ClimateFraud
Scam . He the ski hills have opened earlier this year I've shoveled 3 times already
Blah blah blah give me more government money
History will show how dangerous this kind of blatant propaganda was when we look back at it.
Unfortunately, the global warming scam is one where the perpetrators will never be brought to justice. Even though it will cost lives and waste trillions. The scam will only be acknowledged as such in retrospect.
Climate change is a scam
Enough with the lies already.
Please!🙄
This will appeal to the easily misled amongst us who believe man is the cause of a changing climate and there is a solution. Pay more taxes
Fake news. No human child has ever been born in a time without climate change. But today's Progressives believe everything is about them...
Looks like more beach days
So this was a legitimate concern like the UN is telling countries to get more money, yet there is no urgency towards China and India to change their enormous emissions within a decade. Such a joke
Climate change report. The life of every child will be affected by everything including the rhetoric being piled on by the likes of CTV. Have noticed this add running by all the media, I mean the bought and paid for Liberal media.
'After Y2K The End Of The World Had Become A Cliche'- Max Payne
Before and after, all the way until the human race is just a foot note of history.
Sure whatever but you guys have no problem bringing immigrants so I find this a load of bullshit
You tards better not reproduce then. Wrap it up or just spew it on your face. Signed. A normal person.
...Because of the heavy taxes totalitarian governments will make them pay
Only if insanity becomes contagious...on second thought watching climate activists perhaps it already has
Shut up
The un has zero credibility. msm isn’t far behind.
Profoundly affected by taxes?
No to the United Nations. And way to go on that fear-mongering.
More fear mongering. I grew up with the acid rain scare.
Lol not worried
Lies!!!
We really do expect better from a national news service. This is kind of thing I expect to read in some of the magazines at my grocery checkout.
CTV, Do you get paid to spread propaganda
Nice propaganda to bad its getting colder due to solar minimum
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
it sure will they will be billions if not trillions in debt services will be destroyed and jobs will be few
This country needs a good solid recession. These stupid ideas are getting out of hand. onpoli cdnpoli
We don’t need so many damn babies.
Canada ... Our kids are suffering from heightened anxieties thanks to the AGW cult.
The climate has been changing since the planet formed. The endless fear mongering accomplishes nothing.
Fearmongering
Really?
Doomsday prophecies from CTV. So how about FireJessAllen ?
Brainwashing our children with this nonsense is criminal.
