- Abstract
To the Editor—Climate change has been implicated in an increasing number of public health concerns: heat waves, floods, food shortages, drought, vector-borne disease pandemics, worsening poverty, and violent conflicts. In North Carolina, experts predict we will experience an increased incidence of heat-related illness, longer allergy seasons, new food and water contamination, and more severe weather.
