A new federal climate report awaiting final approval by the Trump administration shows the impacts of climate change are far more grave than the White House lets on.

The report, acquired and released by the New York Times on Tuesday, shows that the average temperature in the United States has risen rapidly and drastically since 1980 and recent decades have been the warmest of the past 1,500 years.
