In August, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) published its authoritative report which concluded the planet is quickly approaching 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures -- a threshold scientist say the world should stay under to avoid the worst consequences of the climate crisis.
An analysis by Climate Action Tracker of the world's current policies showed that the Earth is currently on track for 2.7 degrees Celsius of warming.
Yes. Apparently carbon pollution has warmed the planet so much that, in addition to billions of tonnes of ice having melted over and above normal ranges (thus potentially shifting the North Atlantic current) it actually rained in Greenland in August -- the first time since recording began over 70 years ago. Scientists understand this is no small thing.

Joe Biden's top priority is climate change. Only 2% of U.S. adults share that view. Americans just want cheap gas — not trillions spent on socialist Green New Deal programs.

Biden calls on EPA to investigate role of climate crisis in deadly tornadoes
Experts have said that tornadoes with such intensity are rare later in the year during colder seasonal weather, and that Friday night’s storms, which included one tornado tearing a path of more than 225 miles across Kentucky, appeared to be an anomaly.
In remarks on Saturday addressing the devastation, Biden said he wanted to know to what degree the climate crisis might have been a contributory factor.
“The specific impact on these specific storms, I can’t say at this point. I’m going to be asking the EPA and others to take a look at that,” the president said in an afternoon briefing in his home town of Wilmington, Delaware.
“But the fact is that we know everything is more intense when the climate is warming. And obviously it has some impact here.”
Climate analysts have long studied links between a rise in global temperatures and the increasing intensity of unseasonal severe weather events around the world, including more powerful hurricanes, heatwaves and stronger and more widespread flooding and wildfires.

Absolutely a world problem that requires collective world solutions.
However there are some people who's stance is that the USA should do NOTHING AT ALL unless China does.

While true, everybody must do their part. China and India, the two most populace countries, are two of the biggest offenders and are not making net significant inroads toward combating global warming (burning fossil fuels) Deforestation in Brazil is another huge problem.

+67 degrees in Alaska, Dec 26! Climate change continues to topple temperature records
YAHOO NEWS - On Sunday, the temperature in Kodiak, Alaska, hit +67 degrees Fahrenheit, setting a December record-high for a state that has become used to them as climate change continues to rewrite history.
The temperature readings in Kodiak did not merely edge out some previous record by a degree or two; the 65 degrees reported at the airport was 20 degrees higher than the previous high temperature record of 45 degrees set on Dec. 26, 1984, the National Weather Service reported.

It's not your imagination. Weather and climate disasters have been getting more frequent since the '70s
(CNN)An extreme weather event or climate disaster has occurred every day, on average, somewhere in the world over the last 50 years, marking a five-fold increase over that period, a new UN analysis shows.

What’s in Biden’s Bill that will “tackle” the US portion of climate change?
Please be specific.

Joe Biden knows there is no greater challenge facing our country and our world. That’s why he is outlining a bold plan – a Clean Energy Revolution – to address this grave threat and lead the world in addressing the climate emergency.
Biden believes the Green New Deal is a crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face. It powerfully captures two basic truths, which are at the core of his plan: (1) the United States urgently needs to embrace greater ambition on an epic scale to meet the scope of this challenge, and (2) our environment and our economy are completely and totally connected.

A new study projects that more hurricanes will be coming to midlatitude regions, which include major population centers such as New York, Boston and Shanghai, because of climate change.
The study, published last week in the peer-reviewed British journal Nature Geoscience, finds that tropical cyclones — which are also known as hurricanes or typhoons — will expand from the tropical regions in which they are currently common. Due to global warming, the conditions that create hurricanes will become prevalent farther north in the northern hemisphere and farther south in the southern hemisphere.
Most of the world’s major cities are located in midlatitude regions, meaning that the more widespread hurricanes will have the ability to cause far more damage.
