Climate Change and Your Health: Rising Temperatures, Worsening Ozone Pollution, the first in a UCS series on Climate Change and Public Health, combines projections of future climate-induced temperature increases with findings on the relationship between ozone concentrations and temperature to explore the potential “climate penalty on ozone pollution.”
This "climate penalty” demonstrates how higher temperatures could increase ozone pollution above current levels, explores the resulting expected health consequences in 2020 and 2050, and examines the anticipated economic costs of these health impacts in 2020.
