The climate in the U.S. has already changed, in case you havent noticed. Alaska gets some attention in this article about the National Climate Assessment in The New York Times today: Alaska in particular is hard hit. Glaciers and frozen ground in that state are melting, storms are eating away at fragile coastlines no longer protected by winter sea ice, and entire communities are having to flee inland — a precursor of the large-scale changes the report foresees for the rest of the United States. Alaska is akin to the canary in the coal mine that is the rest of the United States; weve seen the changing climate for awhile now. The past few years the rest of the country has experienced increased flooding, severe wildfires, drought, and hurricane-strength storms. Climate change is here. #climatechange #climatechangeisreal
