TY - JOUR AU - Chivian, Eric PY - 2013 TI - Global Environmental Threats: why they are hard to see and how a medical model may contribute to their understanding JF - Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy; Vol 3, No 2 (June 18, 2013): Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy Y2 - 2013 KW - N2 - Our Oxford University Press book, ‘Sustaining Life: How Human Health Depends on Biodiversity’, which was published in 2008, described examples of how our health and lives are affected when we damage the living world (1). I am increasingly alarmed at the current accelerated pace and magnitude of our damaging the global environment, and how little policy-makers and the public seem to recognize this. I am particularly concerned that it is so difficult for most people to grasp what is happening to our small planet, what is happening by our own hands. UR - https://cdt.amegroups.org/article/view/2044
