"Global warming has created a 'new normal,' scientists say, and the old hesitance to attribute extreme weather to climate change is outdated.":
"The threat to human health from climate change is so great that it could undermine the last 50 years of gains in development and global health, experts warned on Tuesday."
"More people will be exposed to floods, droughts, heat waves and other extreme weather associated with climate change over the next century than previously thought, according to a new report in the British medical journal The Lancet."
