  • Driving a car and eating red meat are not only bad for the climate--people's health suffers too. All the more reason to curb their carbon habit, says a report by the Climate Health Commission. This panel of health researchers was appointed by The Lancet journal to assess the potential health benefits of tackling climate change, as well as the likely consequences of failing to do so. The panel's report, published on Jun 23, 2015, cites huge health advantages as a reason for switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.
