A story notes that
[...] according to a new U.S. Army report, Americans could face a horrifically grim future from climate change involving blackouts, disease, thirst, starvation and war. The study found that the US military itself might also collapse. This could all happen over the next two decades, the report notes.
[...] The report paints a frightening portrait of a country falling apart over the next 20 years due to the impacts of climate change on "natural systems such as oceans, lakes, rivers, ground water, reefs, and forests.
Current infrastructure in the US, the report says, is woefully underprepared: "Most of the critical infrastructures identified by the Department of Homeland Security are not built to withstand these altered conditions."

Well now, to be fair with The Orange One's bouts of madness, raising soot to the atmosphere with a nuclear winter would probably offset the greenhouse effect and undo global warming following the catastrophic famines and millions of dead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter#Climatic_effects [wikipedia.org]
Or not. I say, lets try and find out. Preferably before the IRS catches on to me.
