Impacts of Climate Change: Perception and Reality

Description

Indur M. Goklany shows that in every instance these trends are either improving or holding steady. That’s the case for

• • hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and droughts;
  • wildfires;
  • crop yields and food supplies;
  • coastal margins and beaches;
  • human mortality and economic losses to severe weather events;
  • access to clean water;
  • death rates from climate- and weather-sensitive vector-borne and parasitic diseases;
  • life expectancy and income levels;
  • poverty levels;
  • human health;

There is no sign that the improving or steady trends are turning, or are about to turn, down. The results are robust and unassailable.

Impacts of Climate Change: Perception and Reality is something you’ll want to share with students and teachers in your nearby schools and churches, with neighbors, with colleagues at work.
