IPCC Report

I'm worried about the affects on our basic needs: food and water supply. But I'm also hopeful because I think a lot of the solutions to climate change, like renewable energy, can lead to a better world.

I'm afraid that because of climate change, some species will go extinct and some places on Earth will flood and other places will dry.
-Eva Bartholomew
People seem to overlook the fact that a return to glacial conditions would be more devastating to life than warming. I'm concerned that trying to cool the planet may backfire.
-Lion
What is your biggest climate concern?
Loss of the beautiful diversity on this unique planet.
-Karen
Population pushing political choices; forest fires, domestic politics...
-Brenda Palmer
That Florida, California, and other coastal states and countries will be flooded by melting glaciers.
-Katie
Climate refugees; we aren't prepared for mass movement. Cities need to start building infrastructure that can withstand a mass influx, and community members need to start organizing to prepare the public...
-Samantha Kate Mcvey
My biggest climate concern would have to be global warming because it is having a devastating effect on our climate as well as many other things. One big effect is the melting of our glaciers, putting too much fresh water into our oceans.
-Jonah Courtemanche.
Well since it is getting hotter, maybe in the next 10, who knows maybe even 20, centuries in the future it will get so hot that maybe a regular rainfall would become terrible floods. We should all change our actions to stop climate change.
-Aanya
I'm worried about the extremes, like more flooding, more heat waves and wildfires, and bigger storms.
-April
Overreaching government response.
-Mike Yesesky
There will no longer be a livable planet for younger generations.
-Rg Striffler
My biggest concern is that my children or my later possible descendants might have to live in a more dangerous world.
