Thank you for this excellent video--a great summary of the health effects of climate change. In addition to the suggestions about what we as physicians can do about this problem, I would like to see some advice about talking to our legislators. I think legislative action, including carbon pricing, will be required to solve or at least mitigate this problem.

According to NASA, Earth’s average temperature has only increased by 0.8 degrees Celsius since 1880. How can that possibly be a "climate crisis"? If your refrigerator’s temperature varies by just .8 degrees Celsius, does that mean your refrigerator is broken? When did the Earth have a more pleasant climate than we have today? The honest answer is probably NEVER. The only time I could even consider being better was the Medieval Warm Period (about 800-1400 AD), when Europe prospered with mild temperatures and food was plentiful. Even frigid Greenland was green with vegetation. The Earth was many degrees warmer back then, but today we have become hysterical over a tiny .8 degree Celsius increase in temperature. Air pollution lowers temperatures instead of raising them because pollution blocks sunlight and reflects it back into Space. Politicians unscientifically brand carbon dioxide as a "pollutant," forgetting the obvious proven fact that carbon dioxide created and feeds all life on Earth - and most likely - all life that exists anywhere in the universe. Adding more carbon dioxide to our atmosphere makes plants grow faster and bigger, which produces more food and lumber. If we could triple atmospheric CO2 levels, which would be difficult to achieve, we would stimulate optimum plant growth and drought resistance. Plants would develop fewer stomatal pores to absorb CO2, which means fewer pores for moisture to escape from. This allows plants to manage their water supply more efficiently. NASA satellite observations have shown this is already happening around the world.
