And without deeper cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions and accelerated adaptation to changes already underway, the report authors warn that “severe climate risks to the United States will continue to grow.”
As international delegates gather later this month for negotiations at the COP28 climate conference to further map out how they’ll address warming, the US will be one of many countries coming to the table with alarmingly little progress on a problem that the research continues to show is getting worse.
Now, the Biden administration is leading with a splashier release: The fifth assessment has new bells and whistles, including an accompanying podcast, art series, and even a poetry anthology compiled by two poet laureates and a climate scientist.
Young people today “have not just intellectually started to appreciate the concept of this crisis, it is their lived experience to see the sky turn orange or to breathe in the smoke from wildfires, hundreds of miles [away],” Biden’s national climate adviser Ali Zaidi said on a press call.
Scientists have begun to piece together how factors like race, income, construction techniques, and insurance rates can compound the effects of a disaster already worsened by climate change, creating social disruption and widening inequities.
While rising temperatures can fuel hotter heat waves and more damaging storms, the harms that people experience —injuries, illnesses, homelessness, stress, financial loss — are a function of decisions they make as individuals and as communities.
