When the topic of climate change emerged on the national and global scene in the 1980s, people referred to it as "global warming." Climate scientists, environmentalists, politicians, businesses, and others were concerned with greehouse gas emissions and eforts to limit or reduce them. There was little discussion of links between increases in global temperatures and individual and public health. This article in The Guardian addresses this issue. Should we be concerned about the connection between climate changes and health? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/28/doctors-from-around-the-world-unite-to-call-for-urgent-climate-action
