Health impacts of bushfires won't be known for years, experts say
Australians breathing toxic bushfire smoke will have to wait years to know what long-term health impacts they may suffer.
Health professionals call on @POTUS to re-enter #ParisAgreement. No single step will do more for the health of all Americans than remaining in & meeting obligations under the climate deal. #ClimateAction
.@POTUS We—500K+ doctors, nurses & other health professionals—urge you to keep America in the Paris Climate Agreement. Climate change is a public health emergency. The Paris Agreement is our best shot at preventing sustained global health catastrophe. medsocietiesforclimatehealth.org/statements/ope…

Wildfire risk increases with global warming. Megafires are accelerated by high temperatures & drought. And they are extremely challenging to contain, usually only limited by the amount of available burnable vegetation. #ClimateCrisis unenvironment.org/news-and-stori…
