Climate Change

The combination of active tornado seasons, inadequate infrastructure in the U.S., and the failure of the recent UN climate summit to phase out fossil fuels highlights significant near-term and long-term climate risks. These factors, along with the expansion of habitats for disease-carrying mosquitoes and the increasing threat to biodiversity, underscore the urgent need for comprehensive climate action. The lack of progress at international climate summits and the ongoing environmental degradation suggest that the world is not on track to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, leading to heightened risks of extreme weather, ecosystem collapse, and socio-economic disruptions.
