Virtually every part of the United States has felt the effects of climate change, from stronger hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico to wildfires in Los Angeles to droughts and floods in Georgia to an explosion of tree-killing pine beetles in the Rockies.
We're already feeling the effects here in Virginia, with spring coming slightly sooner and fall arriving a little later. But we've dodged global warming-related disasters -- so far.
Be it a drought, a wildfire, or a category 5 hurricane fueled by warmer Atlantic waters, how long until we have our first major disaster that's not an act of God, but an act of man?
