The National Climate Report: Don’t be duped. Understand it yourself, and take action.
The Trump Administration released its National Climate Assessment (NCA) last Friday.

Here are the findings in a nutshell:
-Climate change is real.
-Science has determined the cause of climate change. It is almost 100% due to human activity.
-We can see the impacts today. They are here, and they are accelerating.
-Over the next several decades it will cause substantial damage to the US economy, human health and the environment
