Cllimate change is a health crisis as well as an environmental one, and both are threatening our children

For many adults, there’s no greater responsibility in the world than protecting a child. From long-time parents to part-time babysitters, anyone who commits to taking care of a child understands that keeping them safe and healthy must come before anything else.

The evidence is undeniable: climate change is a health crisis as well as an environmental one, and both are threatening our children in a profound way. Some of the nation’s most trusted and respected doctors are sending this message loud and clear. Apublished in the New England Journal of Medicine declares “The fetus, infant, and child are especially vulnerable to exposure to air pollution and climate change, which are already taking a major toll on the physical and mental health of children.

We’ve known about these elevated risks facing children for some time. But to read them all together in one of the medical community’s most respected journals is crushing. The authors are clear on the source of these dangers. The first sentence of the piece reads: “The combustion of fossil fuels is the major source of both air pollution and the greenhouse-gas emissions driving climate change.”

First, we can begin taking part in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative , which Pennsylvania officially linked with this spring by adopting a state regulation that will reduce carbon pollution from power plants.

Failing children looks more like killing them in womb, trying to change their gender, drugging them with psychotropic drugs in school, allowing illegal drugs to flow to them, and letting parents perpetually abuse them. Clim change is a lie and tax scheme. God controls weather.

Fossil fuels used over the centuries has nearly destroyed the human race, humans are nearly extinct... oh wait,,, never mind... just more leftist 🐎💩
