I realized it’s been a while since I properly introduced myself: I share stories and research about Antarctica, climate change, and the fragile systems that shape our future, and I do it for those who believe knowledge is the first step toward action. I’m glad you’re here.
New research shows climate change has already caused major global health losses, reframing the crisis as a public health emergency #ClimateCrisis #PublicHealth https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-025-02399-7
Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change - Nature Climate Change
The authors assess the growing field of climate change health impact attribution. They show literature bias towards direct heat effects and extreme weather in high-income countries, highlighting the lack of global representation in current efforts.
