Date Name of Meeting 2
National Climate Assessment
Assessment is required
every 4 years by Congress
through the 1990 Global
Change Research Act
This assessment is the most
comprehensive analysis ever
of how climate change is
affecting our nation now
and how it could affect it
into the future Read online or download at:

Date Name of Meeting 13
Certain Types of Extreme Events Show
Important Trends
– Heat waves are generally increasing; will likely
become longer and more severe.
– Cold waves are decreasing.
– More precipitation coming as larger events.
– Increasing risk of floods in some regions (NE, MW).
– Droughts increasing in some regions (SW, SE).
– Increasing intensity of Atlantic hurricanes is likely.
These trends are likely to continue.

Human Health: Ragweed Pollen
Season Lengthens
Date Name of Meeting 23
Agriculture: Longer growing season and more
CO2 but faces increasing challenges from heat
stress, water stress, pests, diseases, and weather
extremes

Date Name of Meeting 24
Ecosystems
“Ecosystems and the benefits they
provide to society are being affected by
climate change. The capacity of
ecosystems to buffer the impacts of
extreme events like fires, floods, and
severe storms is being overwhelmed.”
Date Name of Meeting 25
Midwest Forests
Composition expected to change as rising temperatures drive
habitats for many tree species northward.
Date Name of Meeting 26
The Great Lakes
Climate change will
exacerbate a range of risks
to the Great Lakes,
including changes in the
range and distribution of
certain fish species,
increased invasive species
and harmful blooms of
algae, and declining beach
health. Ice cover declines
will lengthen the
commercial navigation
season.
