1. Snippets from that article ( a must-read, IMHO)

*A trove of papers recently released in the journal Science have warned that the planet's forests are all under major threat of being annihilated,

*the planet is on a trajectory to lose an amount of tropical forest land equivalent to the size of India by 2050.

*Washington DC is, quite literally, sinking into the sea.
The lawmakers that frequent our capital city are making no bold moves to address that city's flooded future.

*There is water rationing in Puerto Rico ( I did not know that)

*California's Central Valley, where the country gets 30% of its food, is frying up AND sinking.

*Accelerated Climate Change ( ACD) is creating the same problems over the globe as it is here.

The entire article is a must tread.
