I’m sure the cult is onto something (that they won’t actually do themselves)
Want to make America healthy again? Stop fueling climate change
If you’ve been following recent debates about health, you’ve been hearing a lot about vaccines, diet, measles, Medicaid cuts and health insurance costs – but much less about one of the greatest threats to global public health: climate change.
Anybody who’s fallen ill during a heat wave, struggled while breathing wildfire smoke or been injured cleaning up from a hurricane knows that climate change can threaten human health. Studies show that heat, air pollution, disease spread and food insecurity linked to climate change are worsening and costing millions of lives around the world each year.
The U.S. government formally recognized these risks in 2009 when it determined that climate change endangers public health and welfare.
And, yet, the vast majority of Warmists fail to make more than token changes in their own lives. Why is that?
As physicians, epidemiologists and environmental health scientists who study these effects, we’ve seen growing evidence of the connections between climate change and harm to people’s health. More importantly, we see ways humanity can improve health by tackling climate change.
The weather always affects health. Like, say, the spread of the Black Death during the Dark Ages, which was a Holocene cold period. I wonder what changes these people have made in their own lives? It’s weird that they so rarely tell us
As an individual, you can reduce your risk by following public health advice during heat waves, storms and wildfires; protecting yourself against tick and mosquito bites; and spending time in green space that improves your mental health.
Would these be the same wildfires caused by incompetence of government, not a 1.7F increase in global temperatures ince 1850?
You can also make healthy choices that reduce your carbon footprint, such as:
- Walking, biking or using public transit instead of driving, since more physical activity reduces chronic disease risks.
- Rebalancing your diet from meat-heavy to plant-forward, which can cut your risk of heart disease and lower greenhouse gas emissions from meat production.
- Making your home more energy-efficient and opting for electric rather than gas- or oil-powered heating and cooking, which can reduce emissions while improving indoor air quality.
However, there are limits to what individuals can do alone.
Why have Warmists not done this already? And why is there never a “just give up your own use of fossil fuels?”
Governments can ensure that public transit is available and not overly expensive to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. They can promote clean energy rather than fossil fuels to cut emissions, which can also save money since the cost of solar energy has dropped spectacularly. In fact, both solar and wind energy are less expensive than fossil fuel energy.
Yet the U.S. government is currently going in the opposite direction, cutting support for renewable energy while subsidizing the fossil fuel industries that endanger public health.
To really make America healthy, in our view, the country can’t ignore climate change.
In other words, government in control. Surprise?
Who would have guessed?
I don’t this this is particularly true. Criminals don’t strike me as the especially politically active sort. That may change once they are behind bars and have nothing to occupy their time.
Healthy states? Blue states are the Healthier with longest life spans.
You want to call the 80% of all Jews that vote Dem all criminals? Drowning puppies thinks that the Nazis were correct. Who else posting thinks that all the Jews (80%) should be calked criminals?
I don’t. !
Don’t think it. Didn’t write it, retard.
You’re a liar, johnnie boy.
A.S.S.
The states with large number of old folks are typically states with friendly climate, good health care facilities Off the top of my head, that would be FL, TX, AZ, etc. But CA leads because it was more people.
An elderly per 1000 would be a better view of the states,
I live in an area that has lot’s of libs. Nice houses, actually several houses. They all have fire places and wood stoves because they like the ambience. Don’t get me wrong though, they turn the heat down during the winter when they leave, ummm fly as a Lexus can’t swim, for 2 months to go to Aruba.
How thoughtful of them.
They talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.
