- Warmer temperatures may appear desirable but this means more drought, extreme heat, larger pest populations, and increased risk of heart conditions, diseases, and cancers.
- Wetter conditions provide increased opportunity for flooding and freezing rain in winter months.
- Wilder trends speak to conditions that create intense storms, such as thunderstorms, blizzards, hail, and tornadoes, occurring more often and causing damage to public and private property on a regular basis.
A warmer, wetter, and wilder future comes at costs that are likely to far outweigh the investments required to create a low emissions community.
