Statesman Journal: Climate change already is impacting Oregon, along with the rest of the country, authors of a new climate report said this morning. Changes in snowmelt are reducing water supply, Oregon State University professor Philip Mote said. Sea level rise, erosion and increasing ocean acidity are damaging infrastructure and ecosystems. And increasing wildfire, insect outbreaks and tree diseases already are causing widespread forest die-offs. Almost complete loss of Oregon's subalpine forests is expected...

Times-Picayune: Louisiana will see billions of dollars in increased disaster costs as early as 2030 resulting from the combined effects of global warming and natural processes, according to a new National Climate Assessment report released by the White House on Tuesday (May 6). The report also warns that sea level rise -- combined with naturally-occurring subsidence -- continues to threaten wetlands and land bordering the state`s most populated areas, increasing their risk from storm surges; and that sea level...

Oregonian: Reduced snowpacks, less water for irrigation, drought-related wildfires, rising sea levels and insect-infested timber. Those are just a few of the impacts of climate disruption that could affect Oregonians, two environmental groups warned Tuesday. The response comes on the heels of the release of the National Climate Assessment and specifically the report's portion addressing climate change impacts on Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. According to the regional report, temperatures are projected...

Climate change already impacting the US, report warns

New Scientist: Climate change is here, and the effects are already being felt across the US. That's the consensus of the Third National Climate Assessment, published today by the US Global Change Research Program. Drawn from a team of 300 scientists with input from 13 US government agencies and vetted by the National Academy of Sciences, the report leaves little room for debate over human-induced warming. Instead, the 831-page report catalogues the current impacts of climate change within the country and argues...
