The equity impacts of nature and biodiversity loss in the US are huge. We discussed this in our #NCA5 ecosystems chapter but great to see this new deeper analysis.

Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases account for approximately 80% of all reported cases of vector-borne diseases in the US, and have steadily increased over the last 20 years due to multiple factors, including climate change. Image: Photo of warning sign for a tick-infested area.
Climate.us restored the Fifth National Climate Assessment. NCA5 Chapter 15 describes climate change’s health hazards. Find the restored NCA5 via our home page. #NCA5 #ClimateForUs

I wasn't able to access www.climate.us and got this warning.
Was it cyberattacked?
For those who don't know, climate.us has hosted the US 5th National Climate Assessment after the government took it down.
(pdfs of #NCA5 are here toolkit.climate.gov/NCA5, but not the interactive website).

REST.
Rest-oration. Life finds a way.
Archiving the data doesn't put it back in the box. 🌈 #RainbowSeries #NCA5
CALM.
We accept what is. We hold our peace. We blow off the noise.
Rollingbacks don't end the winds of change. 🌈 #RainbowSeries #NCA5
Heat can lead to higher rates of heart attack and cardiac arrest...especially for men. #NCA5 #RestartNCA6 #HulkSmash
(Risks are probably higher still for those hell bent on ignoring climate and heat warnings? MAGA just cancelled the data and research, so who knows now.)
FEED.
We amped the unpredictable, but we can feed into new pathways.
Facing changes creates new energy. 🌈 #RainbowSeries #NCA5
EVOLVE.
There is no staying the same. Not now. Not ever.
Taking down the reports doesn't end physics. 🌈 #RainbowSeries #NCA5
CARE.
Facing what's here is how we care for community.
Delaying protections and safety doesn't end the need. 🌈 #RainbowSeries #NCA5
FIND.
Dousing the flames, lightning different kinds of fire.
Hiding the truth doesn't dim the light. 🌈 #RainbowSeries #NCA5
Yep. That's a funding in the #NCA5 and #AR6 now. Cities who prepare... are preparing for and mitigating this already.
I downloaded the #NCA5 earlier...use the IPCC #AR6 and global reports and private insurance data going forward. +20 years of local best practice available (Georgetown Adaptations Clearinghouse). They pulled down the older reports...*cuss words* as children literally wash down rivers. 😑🔥🇺🇸

"The future of the US government’s premier climate crisis report is perilously uncertain after the Trump administration deleted the website that housed the periodic, legally mandated assessments that have been produced by scientists over the past two decades."

🐝 BEECOMING ... #NCA5 highlights the importance of protecting pollinators for both environmental and economic stability, underscoring the urgent need for action to address climate change and support pollinator health
Literally DECADES of pre-warning and risk data available. People begged and pleased for these states to address changing climate conditions...me among them...they chose purposeful negligence and ignoring the challenges.
We get massive rainfall rates and storms here too. But we face it. #NCA5

#NCA5 USDA Plant Hardiness Zones are predicted to shift northward due to warming temperatures, requiring farmers to adapt crop selection and management approaches.

#NCA5 confirms that heavy rainfall and associated flooding are increasing due to climate change and emphasizes the need for proactive adaptation strategies to enhance community flood resiliency, particularly for vulnerable populations.
Good mournings #doomisphere 🤗

I downloaded the full National Climate Assessment Reports before the Trump administration shut down the websites. I also had some copies of reports relevant to the Midwest and Great Lakes backed up. Download them here:

Dismantling the safety nets and systems for billionaire welfare handouts..and throwing gasoline on the bonfire is an absolutely bonkers plan. 😳😬🔥🇺🇸
