We broke down what climate change will do, region by region<\/a><\/h3>\n

Yeah, we read each chapter of the report so you don’t have to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Look, at this point, even the most stubborn among us know that climate change is coming for our asses. We really don\u2019t have much time until the climate plagues we\u2019re already getting previews of \u2014 mega-wildfires, rising sea-levels, superstorm after superstorm \u2014 start increasing in frequency. The 4th National Climate Assessment<\/a> says all that and much more is on its way.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing: Not all regions in the U.S. are going to experience climate change in the same way. Your<\/em> backyard might suffer different climate consequences than my <\/em>backyard. And, let\u2019s be honest, we need to know what\u2019s happening in our respective spaces so we can be prepared. I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s time to start prepping your bunker, but I would <\/em>like to know if my family should consider moving to higher ground or stock up on maple syrup.<\/p>\n

Luckily, that new report \u2014 which Trump tried to bury on Black Friday \u2014 breaks down climate change\u2019s likely impacts on 10 specific regions. Unluckily, the chapters are super dense.<\/p>\n

Silver lining: We at Grist divvied up the chapters and translated them into news you can actually use.<\/p>\n

Northeast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ahh, the Northeast, home to beautiful autumn leaves, delicious maple syrup, and copious amounts of ticks bearing disease. What\u2019s not to love? A lot, according to this report.<\/p>\n
