Detailed explanation-1: -Higher temperatures that come with climate change also promote more ground-level ozone pollution. Ozone is a powerful lung irritant and can trigger asthma attacks. As the climate warms, the pollen season is getting longer, which can trigger asthma attacks in those children whose asthma can be triggered by allergies.

Detailed explanation-2: -Warming temperatures and increasing carbon dioxide in the air from fossil fuels are contributing to longer and more intense pollen seasons, which can worsen allergy and asthma symptoms in children.
