Climate change and human health : present and future risks

TL;DR: Indoor mold/dampness, air pollution from redecoration and poorer ventilation conditions in dwellings can be risk factors for SBS symptoms in an adult Chinese population, especially among females.

TL;DR: The mechanisms by which climate drivers can shape infectious disease incidence, from direct effects on vector life history to indirect effects on human susceptibility, are detailed, and the scope of variation available with which to probe these mechanisms are detailed.

TL;DR: National and international health authorities need to take the findings into consideration and extend their vector control efforts, which are presently focused on urban freshwater habitats, to include brackish water larval development habitats of Ae.

TL;DR: GHG mitigation strategies can bring about substantial and possibly cost-effective public health co-benefits that are highly relevant to policy makers and other stakeholders since they point to the compounding value of taking concerted action against climate change and air pollution.

TL;DR: This updated and expanded edition now offers 297 chapters that cover the basic principles of diagnosis and management, major clinical syndromes, all important pathogenic microbes and the diseases they cause, plus a number of specialised topics useful to the practitioner.

TL;DR: A diagnostic fingerprint of temporal and spatial ‘sign-switching’ responses uniquely predicted by twentieth century climate trends is defined and generates ‘very high confidence’ (as laid down by the IPCC) that climate change is already affecting living systems.

TL;DR: A review of the ecological impacts of recent climate change exposes a coherent pattern of ecological change across systems, from polar terrestrial to tropical marine environments.

TL;DR: The terms of reference of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as discussed by the authors were defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP).
