Excellent presentations all around!! But some missed connections and opportunities as well. As example, the climate and health panel of experts today emphasized the imperative of reducing fossil fuel use in energy and transportation … but made no reference to an obvious connect published in their own medical jouranls. A significant % of all US greenhouse gas emissions are generated by … wait for it … hospitals !!! Hmmmmm !…. In 2008 – CO2 emissions from hospitals equaled 8% of all US annual emissions. Today that number is at 10% AND GROWING. Placing this in context, annual emissions from hospitals equal ~ 50% of all emissions derived from the transportation sector in the US. Would love to see Vice President Gore place THAT challenge in the climate and health discussion immediately. We should expect no less than to see the medical industry practice precisely what it preaches!!!
