it will be the end of us

Climate Change is not a problem......! It is a symptom of a bigger problem, overall environmental decay. It is the proverbial tip of a big iceberg and one that will affect everyone N. Americans included. As with all the other problems, water and air pollution, habitat loss for species just to name a couple it is anthropogenic (human caused). We cannot change other people lifestyle but we can change our own. Sites as this can help one get ideas on things that will help and the number one thing is to lower our carbon footprint. There are a plethora of sites dedicated to this so one cannot claim they didn't know. It is said that most of the ills of the world are not caused by evil but rather weakness.

an annoyance in the centre of north america but devastatingto those living in deltas and low lying islands

Probably devastating but hopefully not in my lifetime

Devastating.

I think as a species climate change will be devastating over the longer term. However since humans can only really notice much more rapid changes in their surroundings than the effects of climate change, few will realise that they are being affected.

I just went through Irma. I made it through with some damage, but not devastating as it is in other places. I was afraid of not surviving for the first time in my life. I never thought I would see the rapid changes which I am seeing during my lifetime.
