Worsening warming is hurting people in all regions, US climate assessment shows

Revved-up climate change now permeates Americans' daily lives with harm that is "already far-reaching and worsening across every region of the United States," a massive new government report says.

The National Climate Assessment, which comes out every four to five years, was released Tuesday with details that bring climate change's impacts down to a local level.

Overall, it paints a picture of a country warming about 60% faster than the world as a whole, one that regularly gets smacked with costly weather disasters and faces even bigger problems in the future.

Since 1970, the Lower 48 states have warmed by 2.5 degrees (1.4 degrees Celsius) and Alaska has heated up by 4.2 degrees (2.3 degrees Celsius), compared to the global average of 1.7 degrees (0.9 degrees Celsius), the report said. But what people really feel is not the averages, but when weather is extreme.

With heat waves, drought, wildfire and heavy downpours, "we are seeing an acceleration of the impacts of climate change in the United States," said study co-author Zeke Hausfather of the tech company Stripe and Berkeley Earth.

And that's not healthy.

Much more at link, as well as a link to the report.

Haven't gotten to the report, but expect the usual hype and hysteria. Have a strong hunch it's overly political, which is interesting. If America is getting hit harder than the rest of the world, maybe an excuse to reduce international spending on climate-change, and focus on our own needs.

Climate change is "harming physical, mental, spiritual, and community health and well-being through the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme events, increasing cases of infectious and vector-borne diseases, and declines in food and water quality and security," the report said.

Climate cannot change.

The report is the usual hype and hysteria. It is just more scripture chanting by the Church of Global Warming (it's amazing how often they refer to such chanting as a 'study').

Ole' Zeke cannot measure the temperature of the Earth or global storm activity. Like others of his religion, any big storm, heat wave, cold snap, etc. is indicative of global warming (or what the Church lately refers to as 'climate change').

There is no 'the climate'. Earth has many climates.

To piggy-back off of this, and to remain aligned with gfm7175's theme of everywhere warming faster than everywhere else, I would like to share that THIS ARTICLE was kind enough to tell me that Alaska is the fastest warming State in the US, and that the fastest warming city, Reno, Nevada, is not in Alaska. However, THIS ARTICLE informs me that New Jersey is warming the fastest, and that 80% of the ten fastest warming states are on the east coast, nowhere near Alaska, and nowhere near Reno, Nevada. THIS ARTICLE has a different listing.

If I weren't aware that Global Warming is thettled thienth, I'd almost think they were making all of this up.

I already did. So have others. RQAA.

Because you're especially slow, I'll do it again.

Climate is a subjective description. It has no temperature. It has no precipitation. It has no values associated with of any kind. A desert climate is always a desert climate, even if a particular desert disappears and becomes a lush climate. A lush climate is always a lush climate.

There is no such thing as a global climate. Earth has many climates.
There is no value associated with climate that can change. Climate cannot change.

Now you can start your word games trying to redefine 'subjective' and 'climate'.

Actually temperature is one of a climates variables, so all climates have a temperature. You are however free to disagree and to believe as you do that the Earth is 6,000 years old.

The typical indicators of climate are the measures of, temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind speed and direction.

Any more third grade questions

WHOA! You're one OLDDDDDDDDD dude, Swan... Tell me what your secret is!

One always hears about the "settled science", but why never about the "shifting science"? I'm more interested in the exciting science that's keeps shifting around rather than the boring old "plain Jane" settled stuff.....
