Unchecked climate change will cost the U.S. hundreds of billions of dollars, damage human health and quality of life, according to a recent 1,600+ page federal report by 13 federal agencies, released on Friday, Nov.23, 2018. The report predicts that U.S. GDP may drop 10% by the end of the century, stronger hurricanes and more frequent flood in Southeast, agricultural catastrophe and extreme heat in Midwest, and increased fire dangers in the West, and is therefore asking the Trump administration to take urgent actions against dire threats and curb climate change to avoid substantial damages to the U.S. economy, environment, and human health. According to scientists, the country is already experiencing serious consequences from rising global temperatures, including more frequent and severe storms, fires and flooding. When being asked, during his recent visit to a California fire zone, by a reporter the question of “Does seeing this devastation change your opinion at all on climate change, Mr. President?” President Trump responded, “No.” Furthermore, the White House maintains that the information presented in this 1600+ page report is “largely based on the most. extreme scenario.”

Unless we immediately reduce the burning of coal and oil and gas that drive up global temperatures, a new UN report warns the world will suffer tremendous consequences as early as 2040. William Brangham talks with Rafe Pomerance of the Woods Hole Research Center and Gavin Schmidt from the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, in the video “World needs to make near-revolutionary change to avoid imminent climate disaster. Is there hope?” below:
Many view climate change as the most pressing issue of our time. But how, specifically, is it going to affect us and our planet? Is there still time to make a difference? And what does it mean to believe “both sides” of climate change science? CBC’s Bob McDonald weighs-in, in the video “Climate change: what to expect and are there really two sides? Ask Bob”
