According to the latest global climate model projections, North America is expected to experience significant warming throughout this century if carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere double compared to current levels.

NASA recently released to the public information about how these projected global changes translate to the regional level. These data will help scientists and planners conduct climate risk assessments to better understand local and global effects of hazards such as severe drought, floods, and heat waves.

“NASA is in the business of taking what we’ve learned about our planet from space and creating new products that help us all safeguard our future,” says Ellen Stofan, NASA chief scientist. “People around the world now have a valuable new tool to use in planning how to cope with a warming planet.” For more information, visit: www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-releases-detailed-global-...
