Impact of Climate Change in North Carolina​

Temperature Changes​

• North Carolina has warmed by about 1°F over the past century.
• By 2080, temperatures may rise 4-10°F, leading to more days above 95°F.
• The state is expected to experience about 41 extremely hot days annually by 2050.

Increased Weather Events​

• From 1980 to 2024, North Carolina faced 121 weather and climate disasters, each costing over $1 billion.
• The most frequent events include severe storms (54 events) and tropical cyclones (31 events).
• The annual average of billion-dollar disasters has increased from 2.7 to 7.4 in the last five years.

Sea Level Rise and Flooding​

• Sea levels are rising approximately one inch per decade, increasing the risk of coastal flooding.
• High-tide flooding and storm surges are becoming more common, affecting coastal communities.
• Saltwater intrusion is damaging wetlands and forests, impacting local ecosystems.

Drought and Water Stress​

• Drought risk is projected to increase due to higher water demand and lower supply.
• The state is ranked #10 for drought risk among the lower 48 states.

Local Responses​

• Some local governments are beginning to address climate change through updated land-use planning and resilience strategies.
• However, there is a gap in public discourse, with many residents hesitant to label changes as climate-related.

The effects of climate change in North Carolina are significant and multifaceted, impacting the environment, economy, and daily lives of residents.

‘Washington Democrats . . .’

Then there’s the bourgeoisie strategy of tax cuts for corporations/the wealthy, thereby shifting the burden on the working class.

As for Marxists getting control — we’ll know that’s happening when the ruling class instructs the Blight House to deploy the AC-130J Ghostrider and bomb us.
