A major climate change report has been released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, after being delayed by the Trump administration since 2017.
The Climate Change Indicators Report found floods have become five times more likely in U.S. cities since 1950, and recorded a record low amount of sea ice last September.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan says climate change will now be addressed by the U.S. with a sense of urgency.
"Combatting climate change - it's not optional.
"We will move with a sense of urgency because we know what's at stake," said Regan.
