New global temperature data will inform study of climate impacts on health, agriculture

October 13, 2020

| Health Facts

A seemingly small one-to-two degree change in the global climate can dramatically alter weather-related hazards. Given that such a small change can result in such big impacts, it is important to have the most accurate information possible when studying the impact of climate change. This can be especially challenging in data-sparse areas like Africa, where some of the most dangerous hazards are expected to emerge.

A new data set published in the journal Scientific Data provides high-resolution, daily temperatures from around the globe that could prove valuable in studying human health impacts from heat waves, risks to agriculture, droughts, potential crop failures, and food insecurity. 

Data scientists Andrew Verdin and Kathryn Grace of the Minnesota Population Center at the University of Minnesota worked with colleagues at the Climate Hazards Center at the University of California Santa Barbara to produce and validate the data set.

“It’s important to have this high-resolution

Medical Residents Learn To Treat The Growing Health Hazards Of Climate Change

It was low tide on the north shore of Boston when Steve Kearns felt the mosquito bite that would land him in a hospital with West Nile Virus disease for a week.

“For at least six months after that, I felt like every five minutes I was being run over by a truck,” Kearns says. “I couldn’t work, I couldn’t walk very well and I couldn’t focus. I wondered for a bit if I’d ever get better.”

Kearns, 71, recounted the experience during a check-up with his physician, Dr. Gaurab Basu, and Dr. Charlotte Rastas, a third year resident in primary care at a Cambridge Health Alliance clinic in Somerville, Mass.

Basu had never seen West Nile in a patient before Kearns. The first reported case in Massachusetts was in 2002. By 2018, the year a mosquito bit Kearns, there were 49.

“When someone comes in with a fever and

AP FACT CHECK: Debate week’s twisted tales on virus, climate

October 10, 2020

| Health Facts

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sidelined but not silenced, President Donald Trump demonstrated anew this past week he can’t be relied on to give a straight account of the disease that has afflicted millions, now including him. He heralded the arrival of a COVID-19 cure, which did not happen, and likened the coronavirus to the common flu even while knowing better.

The week featured the only vice presidential debate of the 2020 campaign and an emphasis on policy lacking in the virulent Trump vs. Joe Biden showdown of the week before.

Vice President Mike Pence asserted Trump respects the science on climate change when actually the president mocks it, and Pence defended a White House gathering that the government’s infectious disease chief branded a super-spreader event. His Democratic rival, California Sen. Kamala Harris, tripped on tax policy while wrongly accusing Trump of dismissing the pandemic as a hoax.

Act now on wildfires, global climate change, Human health, study says

October 9, 2020

| Global Health

Immediate actions are needed to limit the greenhouse gas emissions that are driving climate change that helps fuel wildfires, a Monash University study says.

A special report published in the New England Journal of Medicine, led by Professor Yuming Guo and Dr Shanshan Li from the Monash School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, summarises the enormous impacts of climate change on wildfire seasons and the sequential increased morbidity, mortality, and mental health impacts.

The report, which analysed numerous studies on wildfires over the past 20 years, says global climate change is fueling the three essential conditions for wildfires – fuel, oxygen and an ignition source. The world is seeing inconsistent rainfall, increased drought and hotter temperatures, leading to more flammable vegetation.

It says the global mean carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from wildfires accounted for about 22 per cent of the carbon emission from burning fossil fuels between 1997-2016. The

The University of California, Davis, publicly launched a $2 billion fundraising campaign today (Oct. 9), the largest philanthropic endeavor in its history. This bold goal will propel the university’s work to prepare future leaders, sustain healthier communities, and bring innovative solutions to today’s most urgent challenges.

The campaign, “Expect Greater: From UC Davis, for the world,” will harness the power of philanthropy to address defining issues of our time such as pandemic response, climate change, public safety and more.

“While the COVID-19 pandemic and other current events have significantly impacted our community, they have also brought out the best of our unique UC Davis strengths in innovation and collaboration,” Chancellor Gary S.

AP FACT CHECK: Pence on climate, Harris on taxes, in debate

October 9, 2020

| Health Facts

WASHINGTON (AP) – Although more buttoned-up on the stage than his boss, Vice President Mike Pence nevertheless echoed many of President Donald Trump’s falsehoods in the one and only debate with Democratic rival Kamala Harris.

Pence muddied the reality on the pandemic, asserted Trump respects the science on climate change when actually the president mocks it, overstated the threat of voting fraud and misrepresented the Russia investigation in the Salt Lake City debate.

Harris got tangled in tax policy at one point and misleadingly suggested that Trump branded the coronavirus a hoax.

Altogether, the debate wasn’t the madhouse matchup of Trump vs. Joe Biden last week. But there were plenty of distortions. A sampling:

PENCE: “The both of you repeatedly committed to abolishing fossil fuel and banning fracking … President Trump has made clear we’re going to continue to listen to the science” on climate change.

During their first and only debate, Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris argued about the administration’s handling of COVID-19, the Supreme Court, the Swine Flu, climate chang and more. CBS News’ fact-checking team evaluated the truth of some of their claims. Here’s what we found.

Fact check: Pence says Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination ceremony was outdoors

Statement — Mike Pence: “That Rose Garden event — there’s been a great deal of speculation about it — my wife Karen and I were there and honored to be there. Many of the people who were at that event, Susan, were actually tested for coronavirus, and it was an outdoor event, which all of our scientists regularly and routinely advise.”

Claim: Pence says that Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination event was outdoors. 

Fact check: Partially true
