There is no question that the Earth is warmer than it was just a few decades ago

There is no question that the Earth is warmer than it was just a few decades ago. Climate scientists are in agreement that we are responsible for what is happening, although some politicians continue to argue otherwise. And global climate change is already underway; we see numerous consequences as a result of the warming. Let’s discuss some of those impacts in our discussion this week.
Please share with us some of the effects of climate change for your own community (Wildfires in California). What steps, if any, are being taken to mitigate these impacts? What more do you think ought to be done?
