Climate Change

The ongoing extreme weather events, such as the active tornado season and the end of La Niña, highlight the increasing volatility in weather patterns due to climate change. This is compounded by the inadequate infrastructure in the U.S., which is rated poorly and requires substantial investment to withstand climate impacts. Additionally, the threats to agriculture and ecosystems, as seen in the potential loss of crops like coffee and cocoa, underscore the broader risks to food security and biodiversity. These issues are exacerbated by policy gaps and insufficient global action, as highlighted by the lack of progress in deforestation and fossil fuel reduction at international climate talks.
