The effects of climate change are steadily worsening and now threaten nearly every aspect of life in the U.S., according to a stark draft of a federal climate report released Monday.
And many of the nation’s most vulnerable residents, including low-income people, people of color and indigenous communities, are suffering the worst effects.
“As climate risks continue to increase in scale and frequency, multiple climate hazards and cascading climate impacts are disrupting essential societal systems in every part of the country,” the report states.
The draft constitutes the fifth installment of the National Climate Assessment, a congressionally mandated report produced by the U.S. Global Change Research Program that evaluates the effects of climate change on the United States.
The draft, which is being circulated for public comment, involves contributions from dozens of scientists.
The report lays out the growing threats to U.S. society in some of the starkest terms ever seen in the periodic assessments. The United States as a whole has already warmed by about 2.5 degrees F since 1970, compared to about 1.6 degrees of warming worldwide over the same period. The effects of climate change are “far-reaching and worsening,” the report states, and larger reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are needed immediately to avoid even worse outcomes.
Intensifying extreme weather events are among the most serious and wide-ranging threats to American life. In addition to the raw destruction they cause to human life and property, they also pose growing dangers to people's health, food and water supplies and the national economy.
Extreme heat is the biggest weather-related killer in the country and is a particular threat to people who are elderly, unhoused or who have preexisting health conditions.

"Request for Proposals""Scientists needed for study to establish that climate change affects every part of our daily lives; ample funding available"
Do you think any scientists will submit proposals for this grant? What do you think the results of this study will be?
