Election Day is just days away and of all the critical issues at stake, there is one that has a fast-approaching deadline to get a handle on: climate change. If emissions aren't drastically reduced by 2035, the U.N. warned last week, global climate disaster will be inevitable — but the impacts of climate change are already being felt in daily life in the U.S.
From maternal health and immigration to the cost of food, electricity and insurance, here's how.
The economy is top of mind for voters this year, and experts say that climate change has the potential for "significant economic harm."
Immigration is again a key issue in the 2024 election, but little attention has been paid to what's causing people to flee their homes. While many often think of crime and conflict as the primary drivers, the Migration Policy Institute has found that it's actually natural disasters that lead to more displacements worldwide. A 2021 report from the institute found that 6% of migrant families in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras said that climate and environmental-related reasons were why they had to leave their home countries.
After Hurricane Helene devastated western North Carolina, conspiracy theories arose alleging that the storm was linked to secret government land grabs for mining purposes. Those claims have been proven to be false, but mining and climate change are directly linked.

Climate change will impact inflation. If the Dems win, they will spend insane amounts of money on an incredibly expensive but completely useless “climate change agenda” that will fuel inflation.
democrats will impact food and electric bills more than “climate change”
ROFWL
In my siblings state of California, it is not “climate change” but the stupid state government’s “green” agendas and mandates that have given California the highest electric bills in the nation.
“Immigration is again a key issue in the 2024 election, but little attention has been paid to what’s causing people to flee their homes.”
What’s causing mirgants to surge the U.S. southern border is not any “climate change” but a treasonous Biden adminstration with it’s well announced open border policy.
Just stop with all the BS lies….
“Alledged” climate change.
“A 2021 report from the institute found that 6% of migrant families in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras said that climate and environmental-related reasons were why they had to leave their home countries.”
Which means that “climate change” was not the reason for the other 94% of those migrants.
It wasn’t the issue for the other 6% either. They’re either just saying whatever they have to in order to not be deported or, more likely, they don’t exist.
Ok fearmongers at MSM sites...you are ridiculous. The earth and the skies have their own method of dealing with the elements and how our weather works. You can’t stop the sun from shining or the moon from controlling the tides or trying to make everyone crazy from your fearmongering. Just stop it and go get a real job!
Climate change is nothing more than a scheme to separate those of us from what little we have and give it to those that don need it.
democrat climate change regulations is the cause
Exactly.
That’s right.
Well said.
I won’t, politicians will.
What a pile of crap ! Where to begin ....?
Let’s begin at the end. Can you guarantee that drastic climate change action taxes & funding will prevent all these floods, fires, & hurricanes ? Don’t you dare FAFO.
Authors weakly attempt to blame every inconvenience to climate change.
The American Society of Civil Engineers said in its latest report grading the nation’s infrastructure that this sector received a “C-,” with the organization’s experts saying U.S. energy infrastructure is aged and still being used half a century past its life expectancy. That age, combined with the increasing extreme weather events, could cost businesses about $150 billion a year. Blackouts pose additional dangers to human health, including blocking access to food and water, communication and emergency health care.
