Obama gears up to fight global warming
New report on climate change warns of floods, heatwaves, drought and loss of crops
A U.S. government report warns of catastrophic results‹from famine to deadly hurricanes and economic meltdown‹if quick action isn¹t taken on climate change. The report also outlines the climate patterns Americans have already been seeing, shorter and milder winters with stronger storms and a more dangerous hurricane season. The report¹s release is part of the Obama administration’s plan to gain support for its climate change agenda, which top democrats hope to pass through Congress by June 26.
