Watch This: The Climate Crisis Is a Health Crisis

Jul 17, 2025 | Climate Change, Easy A

We’re not doomed yet, but we’ve wasted a lot of time. That’s one of the takeaways we learned from meteorologist and climate change communicator, Chris Edwards, when he joined us recently for our virtual event, Climate Change 101: What You Need to Know.

Chris talked about the science behind climate change and how it affects us all. One of the impacts he discussed echoed what Dr. Alice Chen wrote in your Easy A last weekthe climate crisis is also a crisis for our health. Watch what he had to say about the impact of climate change on our health in this short video:

Climate change doesn’t just hurt our bodies, it also hurts the health of animals and ecosystems.

Chris showed us that climate change is simple, serious, and solvable — if we act soon. Next week, we’ll take action together.
