Pew Center on Global Climate Change, Human Health and Global Climate Change: A Review of Potential Impacts on the United States

Date:December 2000
Description:A report reviewing the potential impacts of climate change in the United States. This report on the effects of climate change on human health in the United States finds that the complexity of the pathways by which climate affects health represents a major obstacle to predicting how, when, where, and to what extent global climate change may influence human well-being. Some linkages are strong and clearly defined, whereas other important connections are made difficult to define by being variable, region-specific, or mediated through multiple intervening steps.
