Heat, air pollution, disease: How climate change affects health

Mosquito borne diseases are easy to put on the spotlight, with well known risks that are easy to extrapolate to higher rates of infection and deaths, but other infectious diseases are also affected, from other viruses that are spread by ticks (or even worse, by ticks that parasite birds, so they can act as vectors between even continents) to pathogens that can infect and cause disease directly thanks to increased temperatures making them a greater danger like bacteria and fungus.

Unfortunately these are risks that will be accounted for completely only after they already have increased, any prediction made right now is very likely to underestimating them.

From number of articles in this section that are (unsurprisingly) connected to 'environment', it may be more logical to combine the JT sections and create an "Environment & Health" section.

If you see the contents it is clear the articles are refer to the effect in health of changes in the environment, that is why they are in the health section, those that have to do with the environment without focusing on how it affects health are of course included in the "environment" section, not the health one.
