A leaked UN report warns 'worst is yet to come' on climate change. Here's how you can help

A leaked draft report from the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change paints the starkest picture yet of the accelerating danger caused by human use of coal, oil, and gas. It warns of coming unlivable heat waves, widespread hunger and drought, rising sea levels and extinction. To understand the report's warnings, William Brangham turns to atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayoe.

1. O, we are in trouble deep

We’ve been warned for a wile, now. Maybe a respected R, Cindi McCain being up for UN’s position that has climate change challenges will help. We need everyone.

2. Of course the worst is yet to come ... what a silly bit of text to pick out as a headline

Nothing against the smiling Christian Texas Tech scientist, but I was disappointed by the segment.

No offense Rhi

3. No offense taken. I usually expect better from PBS NewsHour, but I thought the report was worth it.

Unless you know of a way to make rain.
