Global Warming could cause mass climate migration and the resulting clash of groups and nations - resulting in MORE deaths.
The psychology of the US state of the union can be seen in the fact that the last 3 or 4 US generations have stated a worry that their next, future generation will be less well off than they were. This is proof positive of US UNRESOLVED problems affecting society. Global Warming and potential increased destruction to life and property in Florida caused by HURRICANES are just TWO of the unresolved problems that US leaders have allowed to increase and fester. Problems that go back about 50 years or more. Outsourcing and willful destruction of unions have decimated the middle class and driven the US to the top position of wealth disparity among 1st world countries. The world AND our enemies see how weak the US has become. We used to lead, now we are sliding backwards.

People cannot seem to agree on the science so often little gets accomplished. Or two steps ahead and often four back.
