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."

We can't expect a newbie AC to know, plus I kind of do talk "like a guy." Lots of active voice, not too many cutesy mannerisms, etc.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...

That sounds like my kind of woman.
Much like my wife.
