Scientists warn climate-related health problems spreading to northern Europe

Scientists from the Medical University of Bialystok have sounded an alarm about health problems arising from climate change now being documented in northern Europe. New research shows that extreme weather events, including heat waves and sudden cooling periods, can significantly increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. The findings highlight how climate change impacts are extending beyond traditionally warmer regions to affect populations in northern European countries that have historically experienced more stable weather patterns.
