Climate change and human health.

During 2006, Australians and people everywhere have begun to engage increasingly, and with growing concern, with the issue of human-induced global climate change. This is, by any criterion, an extraordinary phenomenon – in terms of its very nature (fancy the human enterprise now being of such dimensions that it is changing the way the planet works), its scale, the rate at which it is now evolving, and the diversity of its impacts.
