摘要

气候变化对公众健康的危害可能是灾难性的。许多人把与我们的全球形势相关的紧迫性和危险比作住在着火的房子里。本文使用房屋火灾的比喻来考虑公共卫生团队和其他人如何鼓励减少气候相关危害的行动。使用战略叙事来传播信息可能会提高实现这一目标的机会。房屋火灾的比喻表达了气候形势的紧迫性和我们的共同责任，可以用来建议可行的补救行动。

Climate Change and Public Health: It's Time to Extinguish the Housefire.

The effects of climate change harms upon public health could be disastrous. Many have likened the urgency and peril associated with our global situation to living in a house on fire. This article uses the housefire metaphor to consider how public health teams and others can encourage actions that lessen climate-related harms. Using strategic narratives to disseminate communications may improve chances of this being achieved. The housefire metaphor expresses the urgency and our shared ownership of the climate situation, and it can be deployed to recommend feasible, remedial actions.

期刊介绍： Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, an interdisciplinary scholarly journal whose readers include biologists, physicians, students, and scholars, publishes essays that place important biological or medical subjects in broader scientific, social, or humanistic contexts. These essays span a wide range of subjects, from biomedical topics such as neurobiology, genetics, and evolution, to topics in ethics, history, philosophy, and medical education and practice. The editors encourage an informal style that has literary merit and that preserves the warmth, excitement, and color of the biological and medical sciences.
