Unchecked climate change will cost the US hundreds of billions of dollars and damage human health and quality of life, a US government report warns.
"Future risks from climate change depend... on decisions made today," the 4th National Climate Assessment says.
The report says climate change is "presenting growing challenges to human health and safety, quality of life, and the rate of economic growth".
The warning is at odds with the Trump administration's fossil fuels agenda.
The White House said the report - compiled with help from numerous US government agencies and departments - was inaccurate.
Spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said it was "largely based on the most extreme scenario, which contradicts long-established trends by assuming that... there would be limited technology and innovation, and a rapidly expanding population".
The world's leading scientists agree that climate change is human-induced and warn that natural fluctuations in temperature are being exacerbated by human activity.
What does the report say?
The US climate assessment outlines the prospective impacts of climate change across every sector of American society.

What reaction has there been?
Environmental groups said the report underlined their demands for action.
Brenda Ekwurzel, director of climate science at the Union of Concerned Scientists and one of the report's authors, said the report made it clear that climate change was not "some problem in the distant future".
"It's happening right now in every part of the country," she said.
That view was echoed by Abigail Dillen, president of environmental group Earthjustice.
"While President Trump continues to ignore the threat of climate change, his own administration is sounding the alarm," she said.
What does President Trump say about climate change?
In October, President Trump accused climate change scientists of having a

Ho hum..another article about Global Warming/Cooling/Climate Change...These scientists are like the boy who cried wolf...instead of a wolf it is Taxpayers’ money they want..
First of all I believe that she right on the money, not that I like it as I would prefer to be warmer, but things are what they are.
Coldest Thanksgiving In 150 Years As Northeast Hit By “Siberian” Temperatures
Unfortunately there will be more to come and whatever is triggering these crazy weather patterns pretty much world wide, has also been triggering an increase in earthquake activities as well as volcanic eruptions. After checking various historic accounts, my hunch is that once again we may be looking at a repetition or anniversary of the 3600 signature cycle which last time triggered the Ten Plagues (1500 B.C.)(1500 + 2018=3518 approx.) and drove the then Pharaoh nuts and resulted in the release of the Jews from captivity and became known as the Exodus.
The catch is that these plagues in some form or another were not just limited to ancient Egypt but from some not easily obtainable records we find that ancient China had suffered from them as well. If this is the case and will materialize all we can hope for is that this cycle will be less destructive. Some of these WARMISTS better get with the program as I believe that global warming will be the least of out problem.
And for that reason, they should lose their credibility and credentials every time they are wrong. They have encouraged average people to think that science is absolute and exact. This is an absolute lie. They lived by the sword, they should die by it too.
These people need to be more concerned about the type of climate change they want to experience in eternity. It all has to do with what they do with Jesus. http://ThereIsHopeinJesus.com/
These idiots keep on crying wolf and eventually when they have a warning of a real event, no one will pay attention.
Global warming? So complain to the Chinese government. They do most of the polluting. Most factories moved there, and their pollution laws are lax. Ford is building their cars there. If enviro-weenies are serious, they would crack down on China. Quit bothering the U.S.A. about this fake issue.
I can’t keep up with all these wild predictions based on computer models. I mean if it is accurate then it is already too late.
My question is; what ever happened to “carbon credit trading”? Trading carbon and carbon caps would save the planet! Canada, Europe and Brazil were trading like billions and billions. Somebody made a vast amount of money. Besides AlGore who got rich?
Yeah, every time I hear someone try to shut down debate with that “the science is settled” BS I ask them: so, if it is settled we must know all we need to know. We can stop all funding for climate research then, right? That puts an end to the “settled science” excrement.
Life becomes cold, brutal and short
Bowhunting skills are premium
Expect a crash program to be initiated in Trump's second term to prepare for the coming cold.
Frozen carcasses of global warmists hanging from unlit lampposts..(where are the coal and nuclear plants?... shut down all of them...windmills froze solid...solar cells iced over )
Climate Change and stupid people...
with half the people voting for people like closet-commie obama and traitor hillary and the other gaggle of neo-coms and leftoid, the quotient of stupidity has risen.
The impact will actually be because of the socialism and agenda pushed by these leftards using ‘climate change’ as an excuse — which will damage this country severely.
a bunch of countries will leave the EU over things like this
sorry merkel, it wasnt part of the deal
break a deal and face the wheel!!!
