Climate Change and Human Health: Risks and Responses
Open accessAbstract
The UK government's chief scientist, David King, has said that “climate change is the most severe problem we are facing today—more serious even than the threat of terrorism.” Yet terrorism continues to dominate the world's news media and preoccupy the thoughts of many people. James Wolfensohn, president of the World Bank, recently told an audience of representatives of business and civil society groups that the environment was on the back burner of international discussions on development.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
