Key Findings 1.Global warming is unequivocal and primarily human induced 2.Climate changes are underway in the U.S. and projected to grow 3.Widespread climate-related impacts are occurring now and expected to increase 4.Climate change will stress water resources 5.Crop and livestock production will be increasingly challenged

Key Findings Continued 6.Coastal areas are at increasing risk from sea level rise and storm surge 7.Risks to human health will increase 8. Climate change will interact with many social and environmental stresses 9.Thresholds will be crossed, leading to large changes in climate and ecosystems 10.Future climate change and its impacts depend on choices made today
