Climate Change

The current climate threat level is elevated due to significant policy setbacks, such as the Trump administration's rollback of climate regulations, which undermines efforts to mitigate climate change and exacerbates long-term risks. Additionally, extreme weather patterns, including an active tornado season and record heat in some regions, highlight the immediate impacts of climate change. These events, coupled with scientific warnings about potential catastrophic outcomes like ecosystem collapse and increased global hunger, underscore the urgency of addressing climate change comprehensively.
