Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights how doctors are taking a leading role in addressing the health impacts of climate change.

McIntyre cites pediatrician Deborah Carrickson in Reno—America’s fastest-warming city—who warns that children are increasingly suffering from asthma and respiratory issues linked to climate change.
