Analyzing Climate Change Indicators: A Comprehensive Review 2016

This assignment provides a detailed analysis of climate change indicators, referencing the EPA's 2016 report and other sources. It covers various aspects such as temperature changes, precipitation patterns, and the impact of climate change on different regions. The analysis includes examining the credibility of sources, interpreting graphs and data related to temperature and precipitation, and assessing the effects of different emission scenarios. Furthermore, it explores regional impacts, such as the effects of sea-level rise and wildfires, and discusses climate adaptation strategies. The assignment also delves into the reliability of various climate models and data sources, providing a comprehensive overview of climate change indicators and their implications.

LAB 6 ANSWER SHEET
1. Yes, the people and programs are reputable.
2. Yes I will trust their scientific methods which they use in their research and they delivered
biased information.
3. Because their research is authentic and they give valid information.
4. Yes the information is peer reviewed by the external and individual experts.
5. It means it is checked by others eye and reviewed by the experts.
6. It is important to satisfy about the document is peer reviewed. The changes of mistakes are
less in peer review documents.
7. I will check the references of these pages to find weather it is source is reputable or not.
8. On record, based on thermometer 2006 till 2015 was the warmest decade and the warmest year
was 2015.since 1901, temperature of surface has been raised by 0.15oF per decade.
9. An intense single-day event has come due to the high percentage of precipitation. Between
1910 till 1980 the single day precipitation is remained uniform.
10. Answer of question 8 was found on page 18 and found answer of question 9 on 24.
11. The Nature Conservancy - Chris Zganjar, The University of Washington - Evan Girvetz, The
University of Southern Mississippi – George Raber.
12. This site was developed in 2009.
13. Future climate modal is used.
14. The data is collected from united state.
15. No, this is not reputable resources. The sources are not credible.
16. According to the graph, in 1951 temperature was 52 oF.
17. According to the graph, the most recent temperature is 530 F.

36. The greatest increase in temperature will affect some parts of Russia, SVALBARD.
37. Approximately 2.5 *F to 8.5 *F will increase in the areas with the greatest increase in
temperature
38. The blue color represents higher percentage of precipitation departure.
39. The largest increases in precipitation will occur in United States, Russia, Greenland and
SVALBARD
40. Temperature is much easier to predict than rainfall. High moisture is hold by the increase in
temperature.
41. The yellow color represents the average precipitation
42. The largest decrease in precipitation occur in Argentina, South Africa, Saudi Arabia
43. These places are having medium precipitation.
45. with changing in emission scenario the precipitation and temperature increases
46. The higher the emission the higher will be the temperature.
47. As the time period change and medium of emission changes, the temperature ultimately
changes with decrease in precipitation.
48. As the climate is changing continuously the temperature is rising continuously. This modal
shows the temperature will increase about 4.5 to 10.6*F.
49. The economic issue of any region of the world affects the other regions of the world. The
heat waves take the lives of people which impact the economic growth of the country. Albania
and Georgia is going through with this condition
50. The greatest impact in temperature observed in winter season.
51. In this modal, the approximate increase in temperature for the white water sea is 7.3 *F.
52. In high A2 scenario the greatest increase in temperature shows

53. About 3.2* F is increase.
54. In summer, high chances heavy rainfall present. Heavy rainfall rises the level of ground
water. High flooding destroys the crops. In summer 2005, continuous 10 days heavy rainfall
destroyed the bank stream and cause ground flooding. Around five months, the land is under the
water.
55. The scenario low B1 shows the greatest temperature impact in the US for the End Century
time period.
56. Yes it is true according to the global perspective.
57. The high A2 scenario shows the greatest amount of annual precipitation change globally.
58. Cal-Adapt has been designed to provide access to the wealth of data and information that has
been, and continues to be, produced by State of California's scientific and research community.
59. The site has been developed by UC Berkeley's Geospatial Innovation Facility (GIF) with
funding and advisory oversight by the California Energy Commission's Public Interest Energy
Research (PIER) Program, and advisory support from Google.org.
60. yes, it is reputable.
61. under this ‘no rise’ scenario, no land-use along the Redwood HWY is inundated with flood
waters.
62. the ware houses, streets and home development are severely affected by the flood.
63. shorelines should be build around the San Rafael to cater this problem.
64. In Modeled Data (1960–2099), as the years are passing the area burned by wildfires for
California continuously increasing.
65. The regions of the states that are most threatened by wildfire are Los Angeles, Santa
Barbara, San Francisco and many other
66. Wildfire predict the quick fire in the San Rafael area

67. San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, san José are the areas burned 68 hectares in 1980.
68. Modal CNRM-CM5 has the highest number.
69. About 30 hectares of land burned in 1980 according to modal CanESM2
70. according to the graph the most hectares burned in year 2050 till 2070.
72. What climates today most resemble the future climate projected for my location?
73. The entities that formed the site are Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the
University of Wisconsin Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies.
74. The main collaborators of this site are DNR and institute of Nelson.
75. Yes this is trust worthy.
