Climate Change Is Taking A Toll On The Human Body

During a July heatwave, Dr. Neelu Tummala treated a grandmother who was caring for her infant grandchild.

Flustered and late for her appointment, the woman explained that she didn't have air conditioning at her house, Tummala says. To keep her grandchild cool, the grandmother walked around inside of a train station until it closed because she feared the child could overheat.
