Climate Change Effects Go Beyond the Physical Conditions of the Planet

Been coming across more articles about the negative effects of climate change.

There was one article that hurricanes Katrina and Rita may have contributed to stillbirths in the areas affected.


Science Daily (8 MAY 2014) Hurricanes Katrina, Rita may have caused up to half of recorded stillbirths in worst hit areas.

The article references the following work:


Sammy Zahran, Ian M. Breunig, Bruce G. Link, Jeffrey G. Snodgrass, Stephan Weiler, Howard W. Mielke.  Maternal exposure to hurricane destruction and fetal mortality. (2014) Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.  Published Online 8 MAY 2014.
