Climate change is impacting Europe’s pollen season and aggravating people’s hay fever — one of the many health consequences of a heating planet detailed in a major study published today.
politico.eu
Hay fever getting worse? Climate change could be the reason.
Heat-related deaths are increasing as temperatures rise, while drought forces fresh food prices up, making healthy diets out of reach to vulnerable people.

Climate change is reshaping Europe’s pollen seasons: birch, alder, and olive are flowering earlier: often over a month sooner in mountain regions, compared to 1990. For millions with allergies and asthma, symptoms are starting earlier and intensifying in some regions. #LancetCountdown #ClimateHealth
