Some devastating impacts of global warming are now unavoidable, a major new scientific report finds. But there is still a short window to stop things from getting even worse.
...
Even if nations started sharply cutting emissions today, total global warming is likely to rise around 1.5 degrees Celsius within the next two decades, a hotter future that is now essentially locked in.

isn't the US doing as much or more than other nations? Until the others do their part, yelling at us won't change the dynamic. It sounds like folks like yourself would do better telling China all about the future woes. I'm looking forward to the beach being closer.

The biggest problem we have in the US is plastic - there's a huge commitment to it and it's really bad - hate seeing bags on trees in the middle of no where.

Micro nano dots of plastic is already in our sushi here. That's how bad it is. Also if you sample the beach sand, you'll find it also in the sand too. It is everywhere now.

Tell ya what; go get China to cut their greenhouse gas emissions by just 25%, across the board...and then come talk to me about climate change.
Until then I don't EVEN want to hear about it!

I moved to higher ground 11 years ago because of the climate predictions. What is happening now and will happen in the near future is known for decades.
No one would listen to me then and even now people seem to think that I just love my doom porn a tad to much...
I told my aunt, who lives closer to the coast, to sell her house and move inland, because when the word gets really out there and more and more people start believing it, then the house will be worthless. She doesn't believe me.
