But, it is a CHANGE that will produce many bad situations. This year July was the HOTTEST on record. Then (if the predictions of SCIENTISTS are correct) July 2024 will be THEN the hottest on record. Meanwhile, in the oceans, reef coral may be in the process of COMPLETELY dying off. People today in many parts of the US are suffering from HEAT related physical stress and mental stress. IN 2030, if things do NOT change all of our problems will be intensified.
........The source of the problem is the internal combustion engine vehicles. So, the answer is to eliminate as many as possible. The US is currently buying EVs at a rate of 8% of car sales. Europe is at 21%. The US needs to get to about 30% EV sales. That may be enough to start producing less CO2 and return the Climate back to normal. We also have to worry about a "tipping point" which some scientists talk about. It is important that the average US person becomes motivated by this problem.

"How many people die from cold and heat each year?
It has been estimated that about 5.1 million excess deaths per year are associated with non-optimal temperatures. Of those, 4.6 million are associated with colder than optimum temperatures, and 0.5 million are associated with hotter than optimum temperatures."
