Federal report says climate change will wallop U.S. economy. “Earth’s climate is now changing faster than at any point in the history of modern civilization, primarily as a result of human activities," says the report, which was filed on behalf of 13 different federal agencies.” Don’t let the Trump administration bury this story.

■ Crop production will decline
■ Food sources from the sea will decline
■ Food- and waterborne illness will spread
■ Bugs will bug us more
■ It will be hard to breathe
■ More of us will die
