Climate change in California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Climate change in California has resulted in higher than average temperatures, leading to increased occurrences of drought and wildfires. During the next few decades in California, climate change is likely to further reduce water availability, increase wildfire risk, decrease agricultural productivity, and threaten coastal ecosystems.[3] The state will also be impacted economically due to the rising cost of providing water to its residents along with revenue and job loss in the agricultural sector.[4][5] California has taken a number of steps to mitigate impacts of climate change in the state.[6]
