Recent survey results show a notable increase in American awareness of specific climate change-related health risks, with 37% identifying issues like respiratory problems and extreme heat. Awareness of these threats, particularly among vulnerable populations, is critical as the WHO projects climate change could lead to an additional 250,000 deaths annually from various health complications by 2050. Interestingly, trust in scientists regarding these health impacts has risen, despite an overall decline in trust toward health professionals post-pandemic. The findings underscore the importance of educating communities about these dangers and the role of trusted figures in conveying this information.
