Nina Kohn writes “Older adults are feeling the heat, literally.”

Nina Kohn, the David M. Levy Professor of Law and Faculty Director of Online Education at the College of Law, co-authored a commentary for The Hill titled “Older adults are feeling the heat, literally.” The opinion piece addresses the extreme rise in average temperature throughout the country during the summer, especially in sunbelt regions. Rising temperatures are a major climate issue generally, but they also pose added threat to the elderly who are more susceptible to the effects than others.
