Temperatures rising under climate change are putting our youngest increasingly at risk of life-long health problems, scientists warn.
In a major new study, researchers drew on data from nearly 650,000 hospital cases involving children under five to link daily high temperatures with increased admissions.
They found that kids under 5 were at significantly higher risk of needing hospital care when temperatures hit 24.1C – with Māori, Pacific, and Asian children disproportionately at danger.
