On Tuesday, The Michigan
Center
on
Lifestage
Environmental
Exposures
and
Disease
sponsored
its
annual “Climate Change and
Health:
What
the
Science
Says and What We Can Do”
forum in collaboration with
the
Environmental
Health
Sciences department of the
School of Public Health and the
School for Environment and
Sustainability of the University
of Michigan.
Trish
Koman,
University
researcher
in
the
Public
Health School and School of
Engineering, moderated the
event.
She
had
previously
worked on the event and
helped choose this year’s topic
of climate change and health.
“We wanted to talk about
climate change and health
because there is a really strong
connection
between
what
happens in the environment
and public health,” Koman
said. “And we wanted to have
people understand the science
and understand what they
can do.”
The first speaker was F.
Dubois Bowman, dean of
the Public Health School.
Bowman
emphasized
the
University’s
historical
dedication to climate change
and environmental issues,
referencing
a
student-
organized
environmental
teach-in on the University’s
campus
in
1970.
He
introduced the theme of
an integrated approach to
solving climate change.
“Our University’s history
tells us that the issue of
climate
and
health
has
been at the forefront of
our concern for over a half
century,”
Bowman
said.
“The challenges and barriers
to effective management of
climate change and public
health are no longer purely
environmental — in fact,
no longer purely scientific.
They’re
ethical,
social,
political and economic.”
John
M.
Balbus,
senior adviser for public
health
at
the
National
Institute
of
Environmental
Health
Sciences,
echoed
Bowman’s views on taking a
multidisciplinary approach to
climate change. He explained
that the University, with a
large variety of programs and
resources, has the capacity to
create integrated solutions.
“We have to think about
solutions that are not just
focused on climate change,
but
are
focused
on
real
communities and real people
and think in an integrated
fashion,” Balbus said. “The
challenges that we face, and
especially the solutions that
need to be implemented, are
solutions that cut across every
single program of this school,
whether it’s the engineering
side, legal side, social science
side and even the cultural
side.”
Kim
Knowlton,
senior
scientist and deputy director at
the Natural Resources Defense
Council focused on four key
diverse areas, each related
to climate change: science,
education, law and people.
She explained the health risks
associated with extreme heat,
and the impacts that legal
action can have.
“Detroit could see by the
2080’s a 120 percent increase
(in heat-related mortality),”
Knowlton said. “That’s more
than doubling, in heat-related
mortality, but if we go to
a
lower-emissions
carbon
pollution scenario, if we put
94TH HE NRY RUSSE L LECTURE
ON THE DAILY: A2 AMONG MOST RESPONSIVE IN USE OF SEECLICKFIX
THIS WEEK IN HISTORY: BLACK STUDENTS ENTER
CLASSES, READ DEMANDS
Ann Arbor was named
one of the top 10 most
engaged
and
responsive
local
governments
nationally, based on the use
of a local app. The A2 Fix
It app allows Ann Arbor
residents to report public
property concerns directly
to
the
city
to
address.
Ann Arbor ranked eighth
in most responsive local
government
nationwide,
according to parent app
SeeClickFix’s data.
SeeClickFix
allows
residents to submit requests
to local governments in 342
municipalities.
Residents
report
concerns
such
as
potholes,
abandoned
bicycles, downed trees and
sidewalk maintenance. The
company also ranked Ann
Arbor ninth in the number
of
requests
sent
in
by
residents, citing an average
of 1,800 requests per month.
In 2018, the city of Ann
Arbor
closed
out
more
than 12,000 of the 14,000
requests. SeeClickFix told
MLive the data illustrates
Ann Arbor’s devotion to
their community and trust
in their government. The
City
Council
approved
a
three-year
contract
to
continue
with
the
SeeClickFix service at a
total cost of $40,000.
City
Administrator
Howard
Lazarus
told
MLive
some
requests
attempt to address issues
out of the scope of the city’s
jurisdiction such as animal
removal, or express opinions
about the city. In addition,
residents
may
request
unnecessary services such
as pruning trees. Because
not all messages submitted
through the system pertain
to specific city requests, the
SeeClickFix data might be
skewed.
“This interferes with the
integrity of the data that is
reported out of the system
in that it doesn’t reflect
efficiency of city operations
so
much
as
it
reflects
the desire of residents to
have
city-owned
trees
aggressively
pruned,”
Lazarus told MLive.
The city has convened
a
committee
to
draft
recommendations
for
improving
the
app’s
functionality
for
the
city. It hopes to address
improvements
in
data
reporting
and
train
employees to better use the
system.
Feb. 26, 1970
Disruptions occurred in
several classes yesterday
when
black
students
attempted to read a list
of demands for increased
minority admissions.
A
few
brief
scuffles
broke out and classes were
cancelled in at least four
cases when the instructors
refused to let the blacks
speak. Other classes were
more peaceful when the
students were allowed to
present
their
demands.
Most left after about ten
minutes.
It
was
unclear
last
night what group, if any,
organized the actions of
the black students. Walter
Lewis, of the Black Students
Union,
said
last
night
that the actions were not
connected with a teach-
in sponsored in the Union
yesterday
by
the
Black
Action Movement (BAM).
The demands the black
students read to the classes
are part of BAM’s drive
for
increased
minority
admissions
-
the
same
demands they presented to
the Regents last week.
Tied to the goal of black
enrollment in 1973 equal to
10 percent of the University’s
total enrollment, is a call for
increased counseling and
supportive services to help
minority students adjust to
the University.

For The Daily
limits on our carbon pollution,
we could cut that in half.”
Knowlton felt the current
climate
and
health
issues
present an opportunity for
reform.
“We might think of all this as
opportunity … to move toward
a smarter, more strategic, more
equitable,
healthier,
more
sustainable future,” Knowlton
said. “It is our demand to move
toward that future that is really
going to push this boat forward.
It’s not going to happen as we
sit back.”
Knowlton also highlighted
the
University’s
efforts
to
decrease carbon dioxide, use
more wind and solar energy and
incentivize energy efficiency.
Questions varied during the
panel session, ranging from the
topic of floods to the limiting
the carbon footprint of medical
institutions.
LSA
freshman
Ariana Mitcham asked the
panel about helping countries
with fewer resources approach
climate issues while managing
environmental issues within
the country.
“The U.S. thinks very, very
differently about development
and
about
development
assistance than the rest of
the world,” Balbus said. “As
historically one of the larger
polluters of the atmosphere,
(Americans) need to address
our own actions. The rest of
the world frames this kind
of a question these days, to a
large degree, in terms of the
Sustainable
Development
Goals,
from
a
policy
perspective. I think one of the
important ways to address a
complicated interrelated set
of
challenges
in
countries
like Myanmar is through an
institutional framework.”
