CLIMATE CHAOS: YOUR HEALTH AT RISK
Book ID/图书代码： 11435008B23602
English Summary/英文概要： Why should we care about climate chaos and global warming? Because, among other risky outcomes, they may seriously harm our health! Scientists around the world are in agreement that global warming, more aptly named climate change, is occurring and human activity is the primary cause. The debate now is in the scientific and policy worlds about just how harmful climate change will be and what are the best ways to stop it. One of those scientists is author Cindy Parker, who believes climate change is the most health-damaging problem humanity has ever faced. Parker has thus immersed herself during the past ten years in educating the public and health professionals about how climate change will affect our well-being. Here, she and husband, Steve Shapiro, a psychologist and former journalist, describe what we can expect if climate change continues unabated. The authors explain our possible physical and mental responses to such climate change factors as heat stress, poor air quality, insufficient water resources, and the rise of infectious diseases fueled by even minor increases in temperature.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 为什么我们要关心气候失调和全球变暖？因为除了它们引起的一系列严重后果外，它们更会严重危害我们的健康！世界各地的科学家一致同意全球变暖，或者更准确地说，气候变化，正在我们眼皮底下发生，并且人类的行为是主要诱因。现在的争论集中在科学界和政策界：气候变化的危害程度究竟有多大，阻止它的最好方法是什么。辛迪·帕克就是其中一个科学家，她认为气候变化是人类面临的危害健康的最大问题。在过去的十年里，帕克致力于宣传教育，帮助公众和健康专业人士了解气候变化将会如何影响我们的健康。在此书中，她和她的心理学家丈夫，史蒂夫·夏皮罗（曾经是记者），描述了如果人们对气候变化熟视无睹，任其发展，我们将面临怎样一个世界。作者解释了我们在身体和心理上对由于气候变化，如热压，糟糕的空气质量，水资源的不足，因气温的小幅上涨而造成的传染病的急剧增长等，可能产生的反应。(zyt)
