Climate change comes at a high cost to everyone. Carbon pollution (primarily carbon dioxide) has deadly effects on human health, especially the health of children and seniors, as well as on our environment. It contributes to more frequent storms and deadly weather, which results in billions of dollars of recovery costs for local communities, as well as state and federal aid to victims. The journal Science recently reported evidence that climate changes in temperature and precipitation may contribute significantly to escalating human conflict.
