Global Warming Biggest Health Threat of 21st Century, Experts Say
In a tome jointly published by The Lancet journal and the Institute for Global Health at University College London there appears this gem:
Climate change raises an important issue of intergenerational justice, that we are setting up a world for our children and grandchildren that may be extremely frightening and turbulent.
The author, Anthony Costello, is a professor and director of the Institute for Global Health at University College London.
Kirby Donnelly, head of environmental and occupational health at Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Rural Public Health chimed in with
