1). “We have been ignoring the biggest global health threat of the 21st century.” This was the message—or maybe confession—spelled out in a report launched by doctors and climatologists in London on Wednesday morning.■Over the coming century,climate change will worsen virtually every health problem we know of,from heart disease and heatstroke to Salmonella (沙門氏菌) and insect-borne infectious diseases.■“The health sector has in the past not only underestimated but completely neglected and ignored the issues,” said Richard Horton,editor of The Lancet.“This has not been an issue on the agenda of any professional body in health over the last 10 years in any significant way.”■The doctors said they felt the tide was turning,however.“It is true that the health sector is beginning to wake up to this,” said Hugh Montgomery,director of UCL′s Institute for Human Health and Performance.He cited the UK′s Royal College of Physicians,whose president has made climate change “pretty much its number one priority”.■Anthony Costello,director of UCL′s Institute for Global Health,said that helping to write the report had been a personal wake-up call.“Eighteen months ago,I felt there were other priorities,” he said.“I thought infant mortality was a much more immediate risk to the developing countries I visited,and thought climate change was something in the distance.”■“I hadn′t fully understood how a change of 2℃—which seems like a pleasant summer afternoon—has such implications for ecosystems,for water,for storm damage.” Costello said the report alerted him up to the fact that the world is facing a global crisis.“I want to retain some optimism.If we do act now,we can we can hold back this crisis.”Every society has a range of temperatures within which it can cope,the researchers said.Outside that range,infrastructures become overloaded.A classic example was the 2003 European heatwave,which killed up to 70,000 people.Yet by 2040,Europe′s average summer temperatures will equal those it experienced in 2003.■The doctors and researchers listed shortages of water and food,along with war and ecological collapse,as the most pressing health threats posed by climate change.■In the US and Australia,drought has already contributed to a spread of water-borne illnesses by forcing people to collect and store water in tanks for longer than they otherwise would.In India,hospital deaths have risen in recent weeks as the nation battles a heatwave.■The message does not appear to have filtered through to the foot soldiers of human health:the family doctors and health policy-makers whose job it is to save lives.■“This report says the medical profession has to wake up,” said Maslin.“Pulling our hair out,saying we′re all going to die horribly does not save lives.”What is happening in India now?( )
A.People are forced to collect and store water in tanks for longer
B.More and more people are dying from heatwave
C.The people are fighting with each other and a Civil War broke out
D.A terrible illness is spreading around the country
