Fourth National Climate Assessment 2018: Vol 2 - Impacts, Risks, and Adaptation in the United States

Volume IIThis book was released on 23 November 2018 and can be downloaded as a PDF at no cost from Globalchange.gov. I decided to print this book because I believe this is probably one of the most important books of the 21st Century. It is important because it foretells the future of the entire planet. From what I have read and what I have experienced, the weather is getting worse and it doesn’t appear that it’s going to be getting any better. This is a book that should not be ignored. Earth’s climate is now changing faster than at any point in the history of modern civilization, primarily as a result of human activities. The impacts of global climate change are already being felt in the United States and are projected to intensify in the future—but the severity of future impacts will depend largely on actions taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the changes that will occur.
