Huffington Post: International Women's Day is a time to celebrate women's achievements, but it's also a good time to draw attention to problems too often overlooked by policymakers and begin discussing constructive solutions. As a member of the Congressional Safe Climate Caucus, I am struck by the disproportionate toll that environmental destruction driven by climate change exacts on women. Women account for 20 million of the 26 million people displaced by climate change -- a staggering disparity driven by the fact...

By examining records of Malaria in highland regions in Ethiopia...

Independent: Millions of people living at higher altitudes in the tropics will be at risk of malaria as a result of rising temperatures and climate change, according to an analysis of the disease over the past two decades in two mountainous regions in South America and Africa. Scientists found that when temperatures increased, malaria affected people at higher altitudes than when temperatures were cooler. It is the first study on the ground to show how temperature changes can affect the risk of malaria in...
