Link to full Climate Adaptation Guide from FEMA. (Note to all: SAVE anything like this, there's a non-zero change this kind of stuff will mysteriously disappear starting in January).

Oooh, this is going to be prohibited material for sure. Talks about CO2 emissions. The "we don't believe in climate change" incoming admin is likely to order any documents with the words "climate change" be deleted/removed -- this happened in 2020, but this time around it will be much, much worse.
Greenhouse Gases GHG are gases that trap heat and solar radiation in Earth’s atmosphere rather than allowing it to escape into space. This process of heating the atmosphere is known as the greenhouse effect. GHG include carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, and industrial gases. Except for industrial gases, all are naturally occurring and are important for regulating Earth’s temperature. Human activities have increased the amounts of gases in the atmosphere, creating a disruption in the complex system of feedback loops in Earth’s warming atmosphere and climate. 14 The types and severity of change in the climate depend on how much GHG have built up in the Earth’s atmosphere. These gases have fluctuated over geologic time, yet human activities since the pre-industrial era, most notably fossil fuel burning, have exponentially increased the release of carbon dioxide emissions, resulting in a higher concentration of heat-trapping GHG and an increase in Earth’s average surface temperature (see Figure 2).15 Figure 2: Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Amounts and Annual Emissions (1750 – 2021)16 12 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
