The Trump administration arbitrarily released an alarming climate change report on Friday, a day when most Americans are still digesting their Thanksgiving dinners with their minds set on Black Friday deals.
According to the report, the U.S. is on track to lose hundreds of billions of dollars due to climate change-related costs, see its most vulnerable populations decimated by extreme weather events and face the specter of a contaminated water supply.
The report concludes that drastic steps must be taken to change our current path.
“While Americans are responding in ways that can bolster resilience and improve livelihoods, neither global efforts to mitigate the causes of climate change nor regional efforts to adapt to the impacts currently approach the scales needed to avoid substantial damages to the U.S. economy, environment, and human health and well-being over the coming decades,” it reads.
