With more dangerous heat waves, air pollution and increases in mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, man-made global warming is harming public health.

Nine of the top 10 years where conditions were most ripe for dengue fever transmission have occurred since 2000, the report said.

“Children are the most vulnerable. They will bear the vast vast majority of the burden of climate change,’’ said Dr. Nick Watts, an Australian emergency room physician and the lead author of the global report. “Their health will be hit by climate change in a profoundly different way.” Dr. Cindy Parker, an environmental health professor at Johns Hopkins University, praised the peer-reviewed report, which she wasn’t part of, but she worried that focusing on the health effects that have already happened lessens the urgency of the future.

As an emergency room doctor, Salas said diseases that spread farther because of a changing climate, such as Lyme Disease, are something she has to consider when she treats patients.
