Climate change is impacting Europe’s pollen season and aggravating people’s hay fever — one of the many health consequences of a heating planet detailed in a major study published today.
Hay fever getting worse? Climate change could be the reason.
Heat-related deaths are increasing as temperatures rise, while drought forces fresh food prices up, making healthy diets out of reach to vulnerable people.
