“For decades scientists have been warning us that climate change will take an enormous toll on people and critical ecosystems if we fail to sharply curtail heat-trapping emissions. The future they were warning us about is now here, and it is terrifying.

"One of the dirty tricks of climate change is that local pollution has far-reaching consequences," says former Aquarium Chief Scientist Dr. Kyle Van Houtan, who led the study during his tenure. "When we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas locally, we mix them in the experimental chamber pot of our planet's atmosphere. The result is that their warming impacts are often exported to far away locations."
