What we do now will determine the kind of future our children and grandchildren will inherit. The scientists are telling us these changes will make a difference for a safer climate, but none of these changes is easy. We generally don't give much thought to the many health benefits associated with all of these changes, benefits that are real and could be enjoyed very soon after making the changes. Recent studies show that clean air standards in most countries do not provide adequate protection, and that there are measurable health benefits from levels much below most "clean air" standards. Hotter climate also means more wildfires, with both fire and smoke impacting our health.
