你也许只是觉得今年的冬天比往年暖和了一点，但实际上全球变暖的危害远远超出你的想象。全球变暖会摧毁珊瑚礁，导致生物灭绝，造成农作物歉收，如今新研究发现，全球变暖还会导致早产和婴幼儿肥胖，并降低怀孕率。

The climate crisis is damaging the health of foetuses, babies and infants across the world, six new studies have found.

六项新研究发现，气候危机正在危害世界各地的胎儿和婴幼儿健康。

Scientists discovered increased heat was linked to fast weight gain in babies, which increases the risk of obesity1 in later life. Higher temperatures were also linked to premature2 birth, which can have lifelong health effects, and to increased hospital admissions of young children.

科学家发现，气温升高与婴儿体重迅速增长有关，还会增加其日后肥胖的风险。此外，研究发现高温天气会导致早产和更多幼童住院，而早产对健康的影响会伴随终生。

The studies, published in a special issue of the journal Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, spanned the globe from the US to Denmark, Israel and Australia.

这些研究发表在《儿科和围产期流行病学》杂志的一期特刊上，研究对象遍及美国、丹麦、以色列、澳大利亚等多个国家。
