#3The warm air flowing to the Artic is royally messing with Jet stream and amplifying the energy of Rossby waves. The heat dome, the polar vortex, the floods in Europe are all connected to this phenomenon and connected to global warming. Living in the Pacific Northwest I though things would be “ok” here until 2030, but after this recent heat wave I knew for certain I was absolutely and naively wrong.

With decarbonization already slated to absorb a huge chunk of money it'll need a policy change towards mitigation to get societies ready for changing climates.
Addressing current/emerging problems over future problems will be the next policy battleground on climate.

I would like to know how the place I am currently living at will be different now vs 10-30 years from today.

Who is"them"? Its a matter of system change but also the neglected part of individual responsibility. At least in the form that we need to be more active by pressuring and electing decision makers. To act on our behalf and bot the corporate/offshore world.

The IPCC report is a good start: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg2/
The AR6 version is supposed to come out next year.
