The relationship between health and climate change
Nicolae Testemitanu State University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Republic of Moldova Introduction. Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns when it takes an extended period of time (i.e. from decades to millions of years). The Earth's climate system response...
