  • A new study shows some of the first evidence that climate change has had observable impacts on Australians’ health between 1968 and 2018.
  • Long-term heating is associated with changed seasonal balance of deaths in Australia, meaning more in summer and less in winter.
  • Heat stress can worsen chronic health conditions including heart disease and kidney disease, especially in older adults, write three experts.
