PHI Climate Expert Linda Rudolph Calls President’s Climate Action Plan a ‘Vital Step in Right Direction’

"As a physician and a public health professional I have, in recent years, focused my energy on climate change because I've come to recognize that it is by far the greatest health threat we face in the 21st century. California can address it, but we need to do more, and we need to do it more quickly, if we are to match the pace and magnitude of climate change itself. Our health depends on it."
