How has your community been impacted by climate change?

It’s so important for people to connect with anything they are learning so they understand why it's relevant to their lives. What are some ways you help students to see the consequences of climate change in your local communities?

    Its weird because the Sacramento region has had MORE water than usual. But because this water has come in the form of atmospheric rivers, my guess is that is from climate change.  Additionally, rain does not equate to snow in our Sierra Nevada, so our actual snow pack is not to normal amounts.  And not good or bad, but my bulbs are coming up earlier as it is in general warmer and of course that means a longer allergy season!

    I just saw this two minute long video on the Choices website that answers the question generally.

    Janet Mann , it does seem as if allergy season is becoming year round in the Southwest. Two of the past three years we've had over 50 days with temperatures exceeding 110 in Arizona. It used to be 5-10 days. The worst part is the low temperatures are not cooling down, often staying in the 90s. We haven't had 100 as the low yet, but it's going to happen soon. Even the saguaros struggle with the intense heat.
