Rising Heat and Pollution Trigger Damaging Health Conditions

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights research from the American Journal of Managed Care showing how climate change is intensifying health risks for people with asthma and allergies. With rising heat and drought, those with pre-existing conditions face more severe health complications, particularly during extreme weather. McIntyre warns that cities like Phoenix are already seeing emergency room overflow, and the U.S. healthcare system may be unprepared for the growing strain.
