MARIA ALBULESCU 10/17/2018 4:07 AMWe've known for years that global warming will cause catastrophic drought, flooding and heat waves if we don't do enough to reduce emissions.
A comprehensive new U.N. study finds many of these impacts are expected even faster than previously predicted -- as soon as 2040, just 23 years from now.Major Climate Report Describes a Strong Risk of Crisis as Early as 2040," The New York Times, October 7, 2018. http://pin.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=sX3DUGhp2o6EgUsNDSJo01A9waM5e%2BfJ
