Answer 2

Effects will vary by age, gender, geography, and socioeconomic status—and so will remedies.

Power outages in extreme weather could cripple hospitals and transportation systems when we need them most.

Crop declines could lead to undernutrition, hunger, and higher food prices. More CO2 in the air could make staple crops like barley and soy less nutritious.

Occupational hazards such as risk of heatstroke will rise, especially among farmers and construction workers. Labor could shift to dawn and dusk, times when more disease-­carrying insects are out.

Hotter days, more rain, and higher humidity will produce more ticks, which spread infectious diseases like Lyme disease. Ticks could be in much of the eastern U.S. by 2080.
