From The Washington Post, 10/27/09:

By David A. Fahrenthold
Climate change will make Americans more vulnerable to diseases,
disasters and heat waves, but governments have done little to plan for
the added burden on the health system, according to a new study by a
nonprofit group.
The study, released Monday by the Trust for America's Health, an
advocacy group focused on disease prevention, examines the
public-health implications of climate change.
In addition to pushing up sea levels and shrinking Arctic ice, the
report says, a warming planet is likely to leave more people sick,
short of breath or underfed.
Experts involved with the study said that these threats might be
reduced if the federal government adopts a cap on greenhouse-gas
emissions.
But no legislation could stop them altogether, they said. Emissions
already in the atmosphere are expected to increase warming -- and the
problems that come with it -- for years to come.
"That [a cap on greenhouse gases] really is not enough," said Phyllis
Cuttino of the Pew Environment Group, which funded the study.
"We can see all these problems coming, but as a country, we haven't
done enough to prepare for them."
The idea that climate change will be bad for people as well as polar
bears is not new:
It was explained in detail by a United Nations panel that won the
Nobel Peace Prize for its work on climate in 2007.
Monday's report summarized some of the biggest worries for Americans
in particular.
They included:
-- Heat waves, which the report says are expected to increase. The
danger is expected to be worst, the report said, in concrete-clad
cities, where the lack of greenery creates an "urban heat island."
Under climate change, the experts said, summer heat could also sneak
up on people in cities where air conditioning hasn't been needed in
the past.
-- More "extreme weather events," such as hurricanes, floods and
wildfire-breeding droughts. Drought could also create crop failures,
the report said, leading to malnutrition.
-- More widespread diseases carried by mosquitoes, ticks and other
pests. If warmer temperatures allow these animals to expand their
ranges northward, the result could be more cases of West Nile virus,
Lyme disease and hantavirus.
-- Increased air pollution, caused because heat contributes to the
formation of smog. This, the report said, could increase the incidence
of severe asthma or pulmonary disease.
