UN Information Sheet 14: Human health
"Climate change will cause direct health effects."  There it is again: "will cause."  And what are these unavoidable "effects"?  They are "cardiovascular, respiratory, and other diseases."  They are "injuries, psychological disorders, and deaths."  They are "diarrhea, malnutrition and hunger."  They are "asthma and other allergic disorders."  They are "cholera, salmonellosis, and other such infections."  They are "malaria."  Indeed, they are almost everything imaginable.  We assume that these health effects must be the reasons why everyone working in Florida and Arizona flees to North Dakota upon their retirement, where they do not have to worry about so many heat-related maladies, especially deaths and diarrhea.
