Study: Climate Crisis Tied to Increased Pregnancy Risks
-------------------------------------------------------

In climate news, new research shows pregnant people in the United States
who are exposed to high temperatures and air pollution triggered by the
climate crisis are far more likely to have children who are premature,
underweight or stillborn. The study says Black pregnant people and
newborn babies are particularly at risk, as African Americans are more
likely to live in polluted areas.
