Today, U.S. government agencies released a heavily anticipated new report about how climate change is impacting the United States. The 4th National Climate Assessment (NCA4) lays out a detailed picture of how communities across the country are already feeling the effects of climate change—from intensified risk of wildfires in California, to droughts slowing agricultural production in Iowa and much more.
The report is the second half of a vast effort by scientists, land managers, public health officials, and others to assess the state of the climate across the U.S. The report's first volume, published in 2017, summarized the state-of-the-art knowledge about how climate is affecting temperatures, water resources, sea-level rise, and other natural systems around the country. The second half, published today, focuses on how climate change is already tugging at the economic and social fabric of the United States.
In clear, unwavering terms, the new report states that without "substantial and sustained reductions" in greenhouse gas emissions, climate change will hurt people, economies, and resources across the U.S. But the report also highlights how its worst impacts can be avoided, by adapting to our warmer world and by working to lessen future changes in Earth's climate.

This new report is an installment in an ongoing series. It was produced by the U.S. Global Change Research program, a consortium made up of representatives from thirteen different federal agencies that was established in 1990, after George H.W. Bush signed the Global Change Research Act into law.
The 1990 act—which passed with not a single dissent in the Senate—required a report every four years to pull together the best available research on how climate change affects the U.S. The reports were supposed to look into the future, predicting how climate would influence Americans 25 to 100 years ahead.

Adapt = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
On the backs of middle class taxpayers.
Earth tilting on axis... Summers hotter and winters are colder.
If it wasn’t for climate change, Chicago would still be under a mile of ice.
Issued by liberal Deep State anti-Trump bureaucrats.
Came for the picture of Goebbels.
Left disappointed.
The climate changes, and living things adapt.
Admittedly I was a C student in high-school biology,
but I do believe that’s how things are SUPPOSED to work.
I’m sorry...I thought you said gerbil.
More pukeage from the National Geographic.
I liked them much better when they used to run photos of nekid oogga boogga women.
North East was 35 deg cooler than average on Thanksgiving day!
Man must try to warm up the earth as much as possible to delay the onset of next ice age. Warming temps won’t kill many, but next ice age will kill MILLIONS.
Gerbil? Did somebody say Gerbil??
Send them all a capybara.
13 different agencies participated?
13 8-?
Why, that’s almost as many as have fallen in goosestep with the Media Putsch and the Ruuushian Collusion theory..
Not to worry, though, it normally lasts only 350 to 400 years.
The same ice sheet that denuded sections of bedrock in Central Park, NYC.
The UN will approve, as their Agenda 21 calls for reduction of Earth's population by about 85%.
Because there have never been wildfires in California or droughts in Iowa.
“Adapt = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$........”On the backs of middle class taxpayers.”
No. Adapting will involve more the private sector than the government, and even with government involvment in that and in mitigating the effects of any climate change, it will be hugely less costly than the fees, taxes, “govenment imposed CO2 emissions markets”, and other things chasing after CO2.
Humans can adapt, and that effort leaves open the possibility that “warming” could be (a) far less than alarmist predict or (b) totally offset by a new Sun-cycle induced “climate cooling”.
Zharkova’s studies are scarey. They will one day be holding the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade in July.
