The data and the scientific projections and assessments now find that all three greenhouse gasses are going up faster then anybody ever believed they could.

Worse then all our predictions.

Worth going back to 20:00~ for context, but essentially our carbon sinks are failing to absorb anything, scientists thought they would start to fail after 2050 and it happened this past year.

    Everywhere will be affected but some places will be better than others-- the time to move is now, if you can

            Struggles over water are massively overhyped and lack of water is not consistent with the direction climate change is taking (hot, wet, jungle planet)

          Not really, the great lakes will basically okay for the next while as snowfall increases, until the snow comes as rain and you get severe unprecedented flooding.

          Although wasn't there unprecedented flooding in Minnesota last year?
