The impacts of climate change on our physical and mental health aren’t always visible.    Why? [1/4]
A quote from Madeleine Thomson, Head of Impacts and Adaptation at Wellcome. The quote reads "We need urgent climate action to protect people and our planet. To do that, we must make the health impacts of climate change visible." A photo of Madeleine shows her smiling at the camera, looking kind and determined. She has short grey hair, glasses and a red blazer over a black shirt.

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill). Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill). Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)
