Climate Change Climate Literacy 101 INTRODUCTION

Climate Change in the News National Climate Assessment (2014) observed and projected changes in climate, impacts of the changes on U.S. regions and sectors, and options for responding Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2014) 3 reports on: Physical Science Basis; Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability; Mitigation National Academy of Sciences Sea Level Rise study (2012) covers the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington 17” – 66” Sea Level Rise by 2100

Climate or Weather? Definitions WEATHER – short-term (minutes to months) changes in the atmosphere; includes sunshine, rain, snow, thunderstorms, etc. CLIMATE – long-term averages of weather over time

Climate or Weather? Which are these? It’s really HOT outside right now! It’s really HOT outside right now!

DWR Climate Hawks "The fearsome climate hawk will crush the climate crisis in its mighty talons!" A Climate Hawk * : is not a ‘rebranded’ environmentalist *Grist, 2010 is concerned about climate change and clean energy takes an aggressive and proactive approach to climate change problems attacks on many fronts (clean energy is just one) is patriotic and believes America should lead the world on this issue
