A woman from Canada has become possibly the first patient in the world to be diagnosed as suffering from “climate change”.
Doctors say that heatwaves and poor air quality are responsible for her breathing problems and claimed that climate change was to blame.

The diagnosis has led to other doctors launching an initiative called ‘Doctors and Nurses for Planetary Health’
The Independent reports: Dr Kyle Merritt, responsible for the diagnosis of the senior citizen from Nelson in British Columbia who suffered from asthma, said this was the first time in a decade that he wrote climate change as a cause of suffering.
“If we’re not looking at the underlying cause, and we’re just treating the symptoms, we’re just gonna keep falling further and further behind,” the emergency room doctor told the Glacier Media.
“It’s me trying to just… process what I’m seeing,” he adds.
In June Canada suffered from a historic heatwave, followed by a thick smog season triggered by wildfires.
British Columbia, the westernmost province of Canada, saw record-breaking temperatures in June, which experts believe led to the death of over 500 people. The wildfires caused the air quality to become 43 times worse than levels acceptable as safe throughout July and August.
“We’re in the emergency department, we look after everybody, from the most privileged to the most vulnerable, from cradle to grave, we see everybody. And it’s hard to see people, especially the most vulnerable people in our society, being affected. It’s frustrating,” Dr Merritt told the outlet.
The patient, who was in her seventies, was diagnosed in the summer soon after the heatwave that Dr Merritt says directly contributed to making her ailment worse.
“She has diabetes. She has some heart failure .… She lives in a trailer with no air conditioning,” he said. “All of her health problems have all been worsened. And she’s really struggling to stay hydrated.”
The diagnosis from Dr Merritt has led to other doctors in the province launching an initiative called Doctors and Nurses for Planetary Health.
Healthcare professionals are using the group to advocate for better health by protecting the environment, they said on the website.
“We are deeply concerned about the climate crisis and its impact on health,” the group’s website said. “This summer, our patients experienced extreme weather events of heat dome, drought, and severe wildfires.”

This doctor should lose his license immediately.
Agreed 100%
no, he will be given a nobel prize for discovering a new disease.
That’s right. And taxpayers will get the bill for the “treatment” Trick or Treat?
Tell them to stop starting fires then.
I lived in the Rocky Mountains. Those governments started starting ‘prescribed burns’ fires in the dry hot months of summer. This never happened in the 25 years I lived there prior to agenda 21 puppets slithering into local communities’ boards etc.
The only thing changing the climate is the freaking global elites. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cc0dff24ae2db437cdda65d5cf9d797fa495aeed99a0a67320b058aa5f35bf1e.jpg
The greenies were used to set up climate change Firstly they implemented conservation laws that GUARANTEED fires would be totally devastating Scorched Earth police 101. I know my dad was in. Conservation and land management all of his working life It was all INTENTIONALLY set up globally and by the Greens.
100% agreed. I watched it all happen.
They use the ‘protect the air quality’ as a reason to not clean up small issues. Then when they set fire to those areas they say.. let it burn-it’s healthy for the forest.
Didn’t you just say no burning because of air quality?
Liars can’t keep their lies straight. And wouldn’t you know it-it’s always in the areas that agenda 21 doesn’t want human inhabitation. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0a88933bb76c15f39b57da99f54c622f4f13f12135a2fb527c19891b19da18a4.jpg
That’s an old trick from the drs bag They used to call people SAD , seasonal affected disorder.. Very creative.
There was some suspicious HAARP activity going on in June when that heat wave hit British Columbia. HAARP is in Alaska not too far from BC. Plus as per the article, I read that in Australia some places are starting to list “Climate Change” as a cause of death on death certificates.
Did you see the red laser from ‘space’ start the california fire? I think it was the paradise one.
I saw that in one of the videos from, I think, Wil Paranormal. He also showed a plane with laser equipment on the front of it.
When does the vaccine come out? I believe I have Asymptomatic climate change.
Just what we need. A diagnosis based on a lie wrapped in a hoax encased in a scam.
Good thing she lives in Canada. Winter is coming and she will get to be cold.
