The US Fourth National Climate Assessment Volume 1 has been released.

It's at https://science2017...._FullReport.pdf

This report is required by a 1990 law.  Apparently the current administration in Washington has not tried to alter it.

I have not read much of the 400+ pages, but no real surprises so far.  

Quoting one line from page 133 of the report: "If greenhouse gas concentrations were stabilized at their current level, existing concentrations would commit the world to at least an additional 1.1°F (0.6°C) of warming over this century."
