- Scientific Assessment on Climate Change and
Human Health
In April, 2016, the U.S. Global Change Research Program released The Impacts of Climate Change on Human
Health in the United States: A Scientific Assessment https://health2016.globalchange.gov/
This scientific assessment examines how climate change is already
affecting human health and the changes that may occur in the future.
The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed eight communication
kits that summarize key points from the U.S. Climate and Health Assessment that
was released earlier this year by the U.S. Global Change Research Program.
Climate change affects the health of all Americans, but as with many threats to
our health, certain populations are at greater risk. Older adults may be more
vulnerable to the impact of climate change because of where they live and may
be more sensitive to health threats and less able to adapt to a changing
climate. EPA has developed fact sheets and related materials for anyone seeking
to communicate the health impacts of climate change targeted to important
audiences.
You may access these materials at: http://go.usa.gov/xkMJN
For questions or assistance, please email climatehealth@epa.gov.

information, you may click each of the linked topics below:
- Climate Change Impacts by State
As our climate changes, every state will become warmer. Aside from
rising temperatures, the impacts of climate change are likely to be very
different from state to state. Increased rainfall intensity will cause more
flooding in some states, while increasingly severe droughts may threaten water
supplies in other states. Farms and forests will be less productive in some
states, but warmer temperatures may extend growing seasons in others. To learn
more about the likely impacts of climate change where you live, click on your
state or territory below. Click here to find
specific information about climate change in your state

Refugee and Homeless. National and International Issue. Homelessness.
Sustainable Development Goals. To reach our goals by 2020 rather than 2030.
How many sustainable development goals can be addressed by addressing our homelessness issue alone. Connect the dots........ http://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/sustainable-development-goals.html
2017 time to change the paradigm. More innovative ways to address public health and inter-related issues associated with one issue that affects us all globally. Homelessness a local, national, and international crisis.
How many sustainable development goals can be addressed by addressing our homelessness issue alone. Connect the dots........ http://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/sustainable-development-goals.html
In September 2015, 193 world leaders agreed to 17 Global
Goals for Sustainable Development. If these Goals are completed, it would mean
an end to extreme poverty, inequality and climate change by 2030. Our
governments have a plan to save our planet…it’s our job to make sure they stick
to it. The Global Goals are only going to work if we fight for them and
you can’t fight for your rights if you don’t know what they are. We believe the
Goals are only going to be completed if we can make them famous.

Slave Trade in the 21st Century. A new name to an ancient industry
Let’s
get back to basics, motor oil is motor oil just different grades.
Slave
trading is slave trading hidden under the vail of human trafficking and sex
slavery to minimize and condone the practice by those that promote the act,
perform the act, and benefit from the act by men and women.
How intertwined culture, homelessness, being
poor, uneducated, hungry, and wanting to sustain basic needs of shelter, water
& food, financial stability, and human affection are factors in the slave
trade industry worldwide.
