Dr. Neelu Tummala, MD claims she can see the impacts of climate change frequently affecting the health of her patients. Climate change isn’t just bad for the planet’s health, it’s bad for people’s too and can lead to heat exhaustion, heatstroke, anxiety, and even premature death from heart and lung disease. Senior citizens, kids, low-income communities, and communities of color are more prone to the health consequences of climate variation. She adds that climate action is expected from our elected leaders, and we must mandate it of ourselves. It can be as simple as educating family and friends while making sustainable shopping and travel preferences.
