AccuWeather and Climate Change

Climate change is a matter of intense interest and global importance.

Climate change is a matter of intense interest and global importance. Weather and climate events have an annual impact of trillions of dollars on the global economy and remain top concerns of leaders worldwide according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report. As reported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. has sustained 273 weather and climate disasters since 1980 where overall damages/costs reached or exceeded $1 billion. With observational evidence mounting, there can be little doubt that humans have influenced and continue to influence the world’s climate. Climate change is not new, and our climate has undergone many transformations over millions of years. There is increasing evidence it has been accelerated, if not exacerbated, by humankind over the last several decades by the burning of fossil fuels.
