In a new op-ed in Forbes, Sen. Bill Frist, co-chair of the National Commission on Climate and Workforce Health, casts a spotlight on the health threats posed by our changing climate and calls on employers to protect the health of their workers.

"This is unacceptable," Sen. Frist writes in the op-ed, going on to add, "But this isn't a lost cause."
