Federal Government Foresees a Sicker USA Ahead

A recent report released by the federal government has revealed that the man-made global warming issue will make Americans sicker in the future. The report also highlighted that mental health will also worsen due to the global warming. Experts believe that summers will be the worst season to bear and the government will need to take some measures to deal with the rising effects of global warming.

Details of the Federal Government Report

The report released by the Obama administration consists of 332 pages. It states that global warming will continue to make the food dirtier, the water contaminated, and the air impure. The report also says that diseases carried by mosquitoes and ticks will increase, allergy seasons will expand, and the death toll from heat waves will touch thousands.

Mental Health Affects

Gina McCarthy, Chief of Environmental Protection Agency was the one to release the report and she said that climate change would harm people’s mental health too. Global warming is just not about the melting ice caps and polar bears. It’s about the future of the Americans and their families as well.

Experts Speak

Surgeon General, Mr. Vivek Murthy has stated that the climate change now affects people in more ways than ever seen in the past by the doctors. He also added that this report would help the doctors to quantify the number of pathways through which climate affects the health of people. The pathways include air pollution that is worsening from wildfires, pollen and power plants. He also added that the poor quality of air makes it difficult to breathe and it’s scary for children as well as their parents.

The Dean of George Washington University’s public health school, Mr. Lynn Goldman seems to have seconded Murthy’s ideas when he said that Asthma, which is the topmost reason why children go to the hospital, is worsening due to more allergens and heat.

Summers are the Worst

Mr. John Holdren, White House science advisor stated that summers are the worst for people. Though there has been some reduction in emissions of heat-trapping gases, he says that the US still faces thousands of heat-related deaths every year. He also said that the state local or federal government is not making enough efforts to deal with the problem. He thinks that there is a huge gap between the seriousness of the problem and the response presented by the government health agencies.
