<p class="first">
Climate changes are underway in the United States and are projected to grow.
</p>
<p>
Global temperature has increased over the past 50 years,
primarily due to human behaviors that release heat-trapping gases, like
carbon dioxide.
</p>
<p class="first">
Widespread climate-related impacts are occurring now and are expected to increase.
</p>
<p>
Changes are happening in the United States, and elsewhere, but the
impacts vary from region to region. These changes are affecting sectors
of our society that cross regional boundaries. Already impacted are
things that we depend upon; water, energy, transportation, agriculture,
ecosystems, and human health.

</div>
</figure>
<p>
Across the country, water is an issue. However, the specific impact
is different from location to location. In some regions, particularly
in the western United States, drought is an important issue. Less snow
in the mountains is important in the West and Alaska where the snowpack
stores water for later use. In the Midwest and northeastern states, the
amount of heavy downpours has substantially increased over the past few
decades. In most regions, floods and water quality problems are likely
to be worse because of climate change.
</p>
<p>
Agriculture is considered adaptable to changes in climate. However,
changes, like increased temperatures, water stress, diseases, and
weather extremes will create new challenges for food producers, upon
which our society depends.
</p>
<p>
Human health is likely to be affected by climate change. A
changing environment will likely cause more heat stress, an increase in
waterborne diseases, poor air quality, extreme weather events, and
diseases transmitted by insects and rodents. Higher sea levels and storm
surges will cause U.S. coastal areas to be at a greater risk of erosion
and flooding.
</p>
<p class="first">
Future climate change and its impacts depend on choices made today.
</p>
<p>
The amount of future climate change largely depends on the amount
of heat-trapping gases released by humans. Lower releases of these gases
will decrease the impact of climate change. However, unless
substantially decreased emissions the impacts are expected to become
increasingly worse.

Educational Connection
</p>
<p>
This Climate Change Impacts Collection provides the teacher and
their students the opportunity to explore some of the environmental
changes already observed, from the Arctic to tropical regions. Data
sources provide historic precipitation and temperature records, allowing
students to compare changes in their own local area to others. Lessons
included, provide opportunities for place-based instruction related to
climate change, others provided a more global perspective. The
background resources provided in this collection tend to be for the
teacher and/or the advanced student.

The upper layer of the world's ocean has warmed since 1993, indicating a
strong climate change signal, according to a new study. The energy
stored is enough to power nearly 500 100-watt light bulbs per each of
the roughly 6.7 billion people on the planet continuously over the
16-year study period....
