Extreme heat has smashed temperature records around the country and around the world in the past week alone.

But if we fail to significantly curb emissions of carbon pollution — the path set forth by President Trump’s climate policies — then these severe and deadly heatwaves will become the normal summer weather over the next few decades.

Typical five-day heat waves in the U.S. will be 12°F warmer by mid-century alone, according to the U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA), which the White House itself reviewed and approved last November.

Other studies also show the devastating heat-related impacts the nation and the world face from Trump’s policies of abandoning the Paris climate deal, undoing Obama-era climate rules, and boosting carbon pollution.

1. A lot of the mainly older, white men

who are voting and making these new policies in the GOP PROBABLY FIGURE THEY WON'T BE ALIVE TO deal with the negative aspects of their dangerous policies since they only care about themselves and will likely be dead when these changes in weather really pick up speed. Not their problem, and if they can get richer from these policies (like his corrupt cabinet and GOP) the more they will continue to write.
