Increasing temperatures new hurdle for farm workers

Increasing temperatures new hurdle for farm workers
The impact of Global Warming can be felt by most of us as we constantly lower the AC temperatures because it's just too hot. If it can be felt in such high octaves by people sitting indoors or in fully ventilated settings, for farmers and farmworkers, an increase in temperatures can mean life or death. Attention was drawn to this issue when Leoncio Antonio Trejo Galdamez (58) died in his son's arms after a heavy day of work in the fields in California's Coachella Valley. News about his death struck a chord among the largely Latino community living near the border as they enlisted death as another side effect of the job. 

The United Farm Workers believe that climate change hits farmers first, they have to work long hours in the open field under the hot sun wearing long sleeve shirts, thick jeans, boots, and hats. Even with all the precautions taken to handle the sun, ambulances are called to the field constantly to deal with heat-related accidents.

Heatstrokes are a regular in California's Coachella Valley which provides a majority of America's winter vegetables. All this is concerning especially considering the fact that heat is a leading cause of weather-related death in the United States and it keeps on increasing.
