he annual State of
the Climate report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) and American Meteorological Society assembles climate studies and
reports from the previous year in one package.
The 25th annual report is
out and the news isn’t good: indicators of climate change show up everywhere.
“Most of the dozens of essential climate variables monitored
each year in this report continued to follow their long-term trends in 2014,
with several setting new records,” the report said.
A lot of the 292-page study is highly technical as it
incorporates the work of more than 400 scientists analyzing everything from
temperatures to precipitation to extreme weather events to ice melt all over
the world. But one of the main conclusions of the report is how much things are
changing and how quickly.
