Climate change isn't just harming the health of the planet, its also harming the health of people living on it. 

That warning comes in an editorial published in the New Zealand Medical Journal arguing that climate change also creates major health problems. 

One of the authors, Māori doctor and academic Rhys Jones, says storms like Cyclone Gabrielle have terrible impact on people's wellbeing and this will only get worse as severe storms become more frequent.
