The IPCC Report and the Congressional Climate Change report done by over 3000 scientists, experts in the field, detail the near term effects of climate change, the ones we see regularly now (tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, storm surges) leading to the more severe long term effects (rising sea levels, mass migration, world food shortage). All this is presented with a huge body of evidence… and then there are those like Ms. Henschel who would prefer to believe otherwise.
