The threat to human health is of a more fundamental kind than is the threat to the world’s economic system. “Climate change is beginning to damage our natural life-support system,” says one of the researchers. The risks to health are many, and include the impact of heat waves, floods and wildfires, changes in infectious disease patterns, the effect of worsening food yields and loss of livelihoods.
