Prepare for Public Health Challenges of Global Warming
Target: Mike Leavitt, Secretary of Health and Human Services
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
We are all too familiar with the consequences of global warming.
But how many of us know the public health threats that exist? The World Health Organization estimates that 150,000 people die every year from the effects of climate change, and millions more suffer from illness, malnutrition and other health problems due to a warming planet.
A new Environmental Defense Fund report, Are We Ready? Preparing for the Public Health Challenges of Climate Change, reveals critical gaps in our public health system's ability to respond to growing health threats from climate change.
Now, help make public health preparedness a top priority! Send a message to the Secretary of Health and Human Services today!

150,000 a year die already Sir. Do you want all these deaths on your shoulders. That is a heavy burden you will carry if healthcare isnt ready for this crisis

When there is a hurricane warning, you stock up on food, board up your windows, maybe even leave. We have no where to go to, hiding behind boarded window's will not save us, but if we prepare, humans might just make it out of this problem that we created

Let's not let another Katrina happen before we increase our funding to the necessary agencies. Empower our states and local communities to prepare NOW for their people. We KNOW climate change is affecting us!

Global worming is as much of a fact as pollution or species extinction. This three things are excepted by most scientists as coming from human activities. |
