Climate report aims to answer: Who is most harmed by climate change?

EVERETT — As sea levels rise, members of the Quinault Indian Nation have endured more flooding along the western coast of the Olympic Peninsula.

It has made their primary village at Taholah uninhabitable.

“They’re having to relocate to a different area (uphill) within the reservation,” said Melissa Watkinson-Schutten, a UW Bothell graduate who is now deputy executive director at Na’ah Illahee Fund. That has “an impact on the tribe’s ability to really have that connection with the shoreline that they had since time immemorial.”

Watkinson-Schutte was an author for the Social Systems and Justice chapter of the fifth National Climate Assessment published this month. Every four years since 1990, the U.S. Global Change Research Program has released the report to analyze climate change’s effects on nearly every facet of life, as mandated by Congress.

[Think. Again.]

1. I feel we should be focusing...

...on the damages that we will all be harmed by in the coming years.

This is only just beginning. Implying that climate change harm can now be measured also implies we're past the worst, we aren't yet, and won't be for decades.
