[16] To our knowledge, there is presently no specific activity in intensive care medicine to face current and future challenges in the context of global warming and climate change, although it is expected that intensive care medicine will need more specialized capacities, better knowledge on the part of the intensivists, and better preparation for worst-case scenarios (heat stroke waves or infectious outbreaks) to manage the consequences of climate change adequately.	./cache/cord-005677-ijrghpco.txt	./txt/cord-005677-ijrghpco.txt
