Government Report Finds Drastic Impact of Climate Change on U.S.

The draft report by scientists from 13 federal agencies, which has not yet been made public, concludes that Americans are feeling the effects of climate change right now. It directly contradicts claims by President Trump and members of his cabinet who say that the human contribution to climate change is uncertain, and that the ability to predict the effects is limited.

“Evidence for a changing climate abounds, from the top of the atmosphere to the depths of the oceans,” a draft of the report states. A copy of it was obtained by The New York Times.

The authors note that thousands of studies, conducted by tens of thousands of scientists, have documented climate changes on land and in the air. “Many lines of evidence demonstrate that human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse (heat-trapping) gases, are primarily responsible for recent observed climate change,” they wrote.

The report was completed this year and is a special science section of the National Climate Assessment, which is congressionally mandated every four years. The National Academy of Sciences has signed off on the draft report, and the authors are awaiting permission from the Trump administration to release it.

Don't get me wrong, I know there are a few idiots who probably genuinely believe it, just like bible literalists, but I don't think it's as rife as people think (or at least that's my hope).

I don’t think anybody believes it is rife.

People are woke because it is so strawberry floating stupid that it is amazing that anybody (outside of children and the clinically insane) believes it. People are shook.

Am I doing that right Hexx?

It's the Bible literalists I can't stand, and there's probably a fair few of them in Washington.

The anger I'm going to feel for the split second I realise what's happening, that I'm going to die horribly because 'her emails', is going to be immense.

The sheer pointless stupidity of it all.

OK I'm seriously strawberry floating shaking right now. This is getting scary real fast.
