2008
This publication discusses the risk of increasing health problems stemming from floods, drought and windstorms. Additionally, it addresses infectious diseases spreading into areas once too cold for them to persist. The publication argues that in future it will be the people of the developing world on whom climate change will exact the greatest toll. The authors explain that these are the same populations that already bear the heaviest burdens of infectious and chronic diseases.
