Painting a dire picture of increasing frequency of extreme weather events, the report warns that the “level of current (remedial) effort is insufficient to avoid increasingly serious impacts of climate change that have large social, environmental, and economic consequences.” However, there is another option, “Well-planned and implemented actions to limit emissions and increase resilience to impacts that are unavoidable can improve public health, economic development opportunities, natural system protection, and overall quality of life.”
