Climate Change Health Check 2020 was released yesterday.
Not surprisingly this report predicts that within 12 years Australian doctors (particularly doctors in rural, regional and coastal areas) will be treating more people for heat stress, heat-related illnesses, extreme weather event physical trauma, allergic responses, respiratory problems, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, food poisoning, as well as Ross River and Dengue fevers, due to the impact of climate change.
Full report here.
