The report found that temperatures could rise by an additional 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit within the next century if current trajectories of carbon emissions continued, the New York Times said.
But then there's the story behind the story: this report was leaked for a reason. "But those who challenge scientific data on human-caused climate change say they are equally anxious that the draft report, as well as the larger National Climate Assessment, will be publicly released".
The report ascribes different "confidence" levels that observed impacts are occurring, and "likelihoods" of what would occur in the future, based on the level of consensus in thousands of the scientific studies that were reviewed.
This begs the question: how would President Donald Trump be able to suppress a publicly-available draft report?
"Important to point out that this report was already accessible to anyone who cared to read it during public review & comment time", she tweeted.
"Since the last National Climate Assessment was published (in 2014), 2014 became the warmest year on record globally, 2015 surpassed 2014 by a wide margin; and 2016 surpassed 2015".
The report notes that "thousands of studies conducted by tens of thousands of scientists around the world have documented changes" related to climate, including temperature increases, melting glaciers, disappearing snow and sea ice, and rising sea levels.
Billionaire Moshiri to spearhead Everton’s Italian job
Indeed, it is only by virtue of Falcinelli’s prowess in the final third that Crotone still remains in contention to survive. In Romelu Lukaku, Koeman has a player with the capability of firing Everton to far headier heights than seventh place.
He lauded Germany's leadership in moving toward alternative energy sources, and said global moves to shift to solar and wind power would drive economic growth and create many new jobs. The projected actual rise, scientists say, will be as much as 2 degrees Celsius. They say average USA temperatures have risen rapidly since 1980, and are now the warmest in 1700 years.
Flanagan said the real choices people have to make about whether to support federal climate change policies need to be informed.
There have been federal government reports in the past that looked at the impacts of climate change in Canada but she said they are not up to date.
According to the newspaper, the scientists who prepared the draft are afraid that the White House will not allow an official release of the report, since it contradicts the administration's general environmental policy. Again in November 2012, in a series of tweets, he said, "Let's continue to destroy the competitiveness of our factories & manufacturing so we can fight mythical global warming".
An article on Tuesday about a sweeping federal climate change report referred incorrectly to the availability of the report.
Just last week, the Trump administration officially notified the United Nations that the US intends to pull out of the internationally accepted 2015 Paris climate agreement - a move the State Department described as a "strong message" to the world following Mr. Trump's June announcement.
