The latest National Climate Assessment reveals that climate change is impacting all 50 states in the US and the effects are worsening. The upcoming COP28 conference is expected to focus on these issues. In California, an El Niño-induced wet winter is predicted, adding to the state's water storage uncertainties. The report also details how climate change is affecting the lives and livelihoods of Americans, particularly in the Midwest and the Northern Great Plains region, and is forcing people to move to the US from Central America due to drying livelihoods. The report emphasizes the need to address the unequal impacts of climate change on different groups and the mounting costs of sea level rise in Florida. The southern hemisphere is also facing a summer of extremes due to climate change. Amid these challenges, climate 'first responders' are working hard to mitigate the impacts. Meanwhile, coastal Carolina residents are facing increased risks due to climate change and development in risky areas. Despite warnings of a global catastrophe due to climate change, there is a sense of optimism among some climate scientists.

Planning for large sea level rise is getting more serious in Florida. The Navy is also planning on multiple feet of sea level rise by the end of the century. And sea level rise won't stop there. Costs of climate change are mounting fast. https://t.co/w6p8XCSWFE https://t.co/M1PKWgyePR

The Northern Hemisphere certainly had a brutal summer - record heat waves, plus other climate extremes. Now the Souther Hem isphere looks like it's going to get much of the same. As predicted climate change is worsening fast. https://t.co/fRlpAY6WTh

More people are moving north to the US because climate change is drying out their livelihoods back home in Central America. And the drying (made worse by rising temperatures) is going to get much worse if we don’t halt climate change. https://t.co/UzbcDPSxLi

The Northern Great Plains region is experiencing unprecedented extremes related to changes in climate, including severe droughts, increases in hail frequency and size, floods, and wildfire. But the National Climate Assessment details how the region can adapt to these extremes. https://t.co/JnCeGG4g2Y

“If global average temperatures rise by two degrees, the Earth faces a sea-level rise of more than 12 metres, or 40 feet — and that’s the conservative estimate. The report states sea levels could rise up to 20 metres, or 65 feet.” https://t.co/joPqmixvYY
