In this article I’ll share with you some of the latest findings from this report. This report is limited to how climate change is affecting the USA, but some of these impacts can be generalized to other parts of the world as well. Is climate change happening? The USGCRP scientists report...
…“In these cases, for me, as a taxpayer and voter, the introduction of this extreme doubt about climate change is affecting my quality of life as a public citizen,” Mr. Nye said. “So I can see where people are very concerned about this, and they’re pursuing criminal investigations...

each with its own temperature patterns. Researchers must determine whether changes in temperature or air circulation are part of complex, longer-term cycles. And the interconnections between air, sea, and land mean that any change could have multiple causes...
Predicted climatic changes through affecting these simultaneously occurring interactions might change the microclimate surrounding plants, plants’ susceptibility, the range of host microorganisms (i.e., symbionts or pathogens), and their simultaneous interaction with plants. The influence of climate change ...
Ecosystems generate a wide range of benefits for humans, including some market goods as well as other benefits that are not directly reflected in market activity1. Climate change will alter the distribution of ecosystems around the world and change the f
Understanding hydrological responses to climate change and land use and land cover change (LULCC) is important for water resource planning and management, especially for water- limited areas. The annual streamflow of the Wuding River Watershed (WRW), the largest sediment source of the Yellow River...
Climate change is a pervasive threat to biodiversity. While range shifts are a known consequence of climate warming contributing to regional community change, less is known about how species’ positions shift within their climatic niches. Furthermore, wh
current rates of change act more strongly on the composition of species richness and on regional species pools rather than affecting universal changes46. At the same time, high rates of turnover may be especially detrimental to species that are rare or have restricted ranges47, although we find...
Similarly, the long-term climatic change related to changes in rainfall patterns and variability and changes in temperature are most likely to increase the frequency of droughts and floods in Ethiopia [8,9]. The occurrence of such extreme events has been affecting the planning, performance, and ...
