Introduction: Understanding Climate Change and Its Impact on Health in Buffalo

Climate change isn’t just about warmer summers; it also brings extreme weather that affects our health. In Buffalo, the cold, blizzards, and harsh winter storms pose serious risks, especially for vulnerable groups like children and the elderly. These weather extremes can lead to problems like hypothermia, respiratory issues from poor air quality, and even increased rates of certain health problems due to the stress cold weather places on the body.

In my research, I review the literature to better understand how people in Buffalo are impacted by these climate changes and the challenges they face in accessing information.

This blog breaks down complex information into easy-to-understand posts about how climate change impacts health and what resources are available in the area to help.

I’m passionate about climate change because I believe the more, we talk about it, the more we can work together to protect ourselves and our community. Staying informed is one of the best ways we can take care of our health and help reduce the effects of climate change in the long run.
