You are invited to join us at our bi-monthly Meeting!
Climate Change and My Health
Combatting and living with climate change is the theme of the 2019 general meetings of Sierra Sage, the South Orange County Group of the Sierra Club.
On July 23, the specific topic will be “Climate Change & My Health” . Our speakers will address aspects of global warming that are often overlooked. Rising temperatures and longer, more severe heat waves invite more tropical and subtropical malefactors to move north where they will help spread disease amongst flora and fauna including humans. Dengue fever and the plague are just two of the threats we face. Wildfires and extended heat spells negatively affect the air we breathe and cause respiratory and/or pulmonary problems, especially among the young and the elderly.
How we can prepare for, adapt to, mitigate, and protect ourselves from these perils is this evening’s theme. Although climate change poses an existential threat to humanity, you’ll leave the meeting knowing better how to take care of yourself in a warming world.
