Possible alteration in: infectious disease from changing vector distribution; food production; water quality; heat stress; massive population displacement from catastrophic weather events; and other factors related to climate change on human health and environment are explored through interviews with experts, digitized slides and other graphics. The urgent need for more timely research and surveillance through better coordinated climate and public health science to document these effects is made. The case is argued for what can be done now to protect public health and environment from anticipated effects from climate change.  This timely introductory video is suitable for public health students and practitioners as well as an informed public in outlining this timely public health issue.
