A new report breaks down climate impacts on health by US region
As a climate scientist, I spend time and energy studying how fast the Earth is warming and what is causing the warming. This knowledge helps us predict what the future will look like. But, what most people are interested in is, "how will it affect me?"
Some impacts we are pretty clear about, like the impacts related to sea level rise, increased storms and heavy precipitation, and increased drought and heat waves - particularly the impacts these events have on the economy. But climate change will affect us personally as well (by personally, I mean our physical person).
