New Report: Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States
Posted by on August 10, 2009
“Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States,” National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, June 16, 2009.
Climate change is already having visible impacts in the United States, and the choices we make now will determine the severity of its impacts in the future, according to a new and authoritative federal study assessing the current and anticipated domestic impacts of climate change. … This report compiles years of scientific research and takes into account new data not available during the preparation of previous large national and global assessments. It was produced by a consortium of experts from 13 U.S. government science agencies and from several major universities and research institutes. With its production and review spanning Republican and Democratic administrations, it offers a valuable, objective scientific consensus on how climate change is affecting–and may further affect–the United States.
