Merkley was joined on the resolution by 24 of his Senate colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>On Oct. 8, the IPCC released a report outlining the consequences of rising global temperatures and the ways in which climate chaos will become substantially worse as the planet continues to experience pre-industrial levels of warming.<\/p>\n<p>El&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.proofpoint.com\/v2\/url?u=http-3A__www.ipcc.ch_report_sr15_&amp;d=DwMFAg&amp;c=L93KkjKsAC98uTvC4KvQDdTDRzAeWDDRmG6S3YXllH0&amp;r=XO0m2MNa-cfjTC1nqEo8EEYYbMGZw4kvJaIKy7P4g0g&amp;m=X1T_NTxFOUyKHr8qFTsAMOqyhfYb_HREHuMJb-BtaoM&amp;s=-Ia986I7t9i_Yzr3WAJVGMkqkTy4Cq9R3Fohr6LMxCQ&amp;e=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">informe<\/a>&nbsp;showed that the difference between warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius and 2 degrees Celsius is substantial, and limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is affordable, feasible, and necessary to protect people from the worst impacts of climate change. The report concludes that unless the current path of climate change is slowed, massive impacts &mdash; such as limited water supply availability, sea-ice free Arctic summers, mass die-offs of coral reefs, and intense and unprecedented heat waves &mdash; will become reality as soon as 2040.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the Trump Administration released the National Climate Assessment, a congressionally mandated report from American climate experts throughout the federal government. Despite the Trump Administration&rsquo;s attempts to bury the report on Black Friday, Merkley said, the report has gained widespread attention for its alarming findings &mdash; which include evidence that the U.S. is already feeling the effects of climate change, and conclusions that our nation will suffer thousands of deaths and over $500 billion per year in crop damage, lost labor, and extreme weather damages by 2100.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&ldquo;The Trump Administration clearly wants to bury the findings of this new report, just like they want to bury their heads in the sand rather than acknowledge the truth about our climate. But we won&rsquo;t let them,&rdquo;&nbsp;said Merkley.&nbsp;&ldquo;Climate chaos is already wreaking havoc on the US, most prominently from massive forest fires and more powerful hurricanes. We need to act boldly to save our economy and our environment. We are paying for our inaction, and the catastrophic events we&rsquo;re experiencing are just a sliver of what&rsquo;s to come if we don&rsquo;t dramatically reduce carbon pollution.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Espec\u00edficamente, el informe del IPCC encontr\u00f3 que:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>El \u00faltimo per\u00edodo de 50 a\u00f1os en el hemisferio norte tiene la temperatura promedio m\u00e1s c\u00e1lida de cualquier per\u00edodo de 50 a\u00f1os en 500 a\u00f1os;<\/li>\n<li>Al ritmo actual de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, para 2040 la Tierra se calentar\u00e1 1,5 grados Celsius por encima de los niveles preindustriales.<\/li>\n<li>Con un aumento de temperatura de 1,5 grados Celsius, la poblaci\u00f3n mundial expuesta al estr\u00e9s h\u00eddrico podr\u00eda ser un 50 por ciento menor que si la temperatura global aumentara 2 grados Celsius;<\/li>\n<li>Con un calentamiento igual o superior a 2 grados Celsius, el mundo podr\u00eda experimentar la p\u00e9rdida de m\u00e1s del 99 por ciento de todos los arrecifes de coral de la Tierra y una migraci\u00f3n masiva desde las regiones m\u00e1s afectadas por los cambios atmosf\u00e9ricos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Para los impactos espec\u00edficos de EE.

Mike Quigley (IL-05) and 85 Democratic members, following the release of the IPCC report.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&ldquo;Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with IPCC recommendations is vital in avoiding the worst climate impacts of our generation and generations to come,&rdquo;&nbsp;said Rep. Quigley. &ldquo;With the new majority in the 116<span>el<\/span>&nbsp;Congreso, los dem\u00f3cratas de la C\u00e1mara de Representantes garantizar\u00e1n que una pol\u00edtica clim\u00e1tica de sentido com\u00fan sea una piedra angular de nuestra agenda legislativa a medida que esta c\u00e1mara finalmente de un paso al frente para proteger nuestro medio ambiente, nuestra econom\u00eda y nuestra salud p\u00fablica de acuerdo con la ciencia y los hechos, que ilustran las devastadoras consecuencias de un mundo en calentamiento.
