It seems the health care community has been co-opted into climate dogma at national levels. At COP26 last year in Glasgow, Canada (and other nations) committed to the World Health Organization's (WHO) COP26 climate resilient/sustainability program. But what does this mean for Canadians and our already struggling health care system. It seems to mean that #climate doctors are now more interested in 'planet saving' projects that dealing with real human health care needs. There have been a flurry of recent pre-COP27 news reports from doctors, most of whom are party to the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) who are claiming that climate change is the cause of terrible health problems, that we are 'addicted' to fossil fuels, and that this is causing extreme weather events and wildfires. In fact, modern medicine cannot exist without fossil fuel energy to build and run medical facilities, nor can we do without the product stream of everything for modern medicine from massive diagnostic units like MRIs, CT and PET scanners, to operating theatres with the stainless steel equipment, to PPEs - the protective masks and drapings that helped health care workers and patients stay safe through infectious incidents in the COVID pandemic, and in other potentially infectious situations (i.e. open body surgeries, contagious diseases, etc). How is this also related to the fact that OECD nations have trillions of dollars of unfunded pension liabilities? When patients can't get timely care, their lives are shortened. When people in Canada now face painful conditions and long wait lists, the federal government has weakened the laws on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), which in some cases has become the only 'treatment' left for those with no hope of proper care.
