Preparing for California Climate Change: Climatologists Look Back and Peer Forward

• Climatologists are using observational history, climate and earth system physics and computer modeling to develop plausible scenarios of California's changing climate.
• How much will California's climate warm in future decades, and what are the greatest vulnerabilites to climate change?
• Experts are investigating how climate change might impact resources that are crucial to the state, including the Sierra Nevada snowpac, California coastal sea levels and the San Francisco Bay/Delta.
