How Do Climate Change and Allergy Relate?
According to the United Nations, the “average temperature of Earth’s surface is now about 1.1°C warmer than it was in the late 1800s (before the industrial revolution) and warmer than at any time in the last 100,000 years. The last decade (2011-2020) was the warmest on record, and each of the last four decades has been warmer than any previous decade since 1850.... Because the Earth is a system, where everything is connected, changes in one area can influence changes in all others.” (See https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/what-is-climate-change)
Climate change is global, affecting everyone. (read more...)
