Separately, the World Health Organisation warned Tuesday that
climate change is already causing tens

of which could be alleviated by taking swift action to tackle
climate risks.
While a host
of dangerous
climate change impacts have already begun to cause
death and destruction and to exact a toll on human populations across the globe — a fact that Mr. Tillerson has been unwilling to acknowledge — there is no doubt that it is our children, their children, and future generations that will bear the brunt
of suffering as a result
of our increasingly
climate - disrupted world.
