Health and Climate: Noelle Selin on Climate Reveal podcast

Air pollution, heat, disease – health effects, both direct and indirect, are often overlooked in discussions of climate change, but they play a significant role in understanding what the future looks like with increased warming, and which populations are impacted the most.
