The relationship between the coronavirus crisis and climate change became even more direct this week with the release of a Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Healththat found that people with COVID-19 who live in parts of the U.S. with high levels of air pollution are more likely to die from the disease than people who live in less polluted areas.
