<p>"In approaching Global Climate Change, we need to go
beyond sorting out the economic and political winners and losers," said Dr. Bernard Goldstein, keynote presenter. "In our
country, as in the rest of the world, the health impact of Global Climate
Change will fall particularly on children, the elderly, those with pre-existing
health conditions, and those without the resources to adequately protect
themselves from the forthcoming changes. We need to apply to Global Climate
Change the old public health adage of “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure”.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>In public health practice we
distinguish between primary prevention, in which the potential health risk is
completely avoided, and secondary prevention in which early detection leads to
lessening the impact of the continuing risk.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>For Global Climate Change we need both."<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>
