CLIMATE Change(s)

     A liberal environmental group, The Natural Resources Defense Council, is out with an interactive map that shows what the group believes would occur in each state because of climate change. 
     They suggest the impact on Alabama would be wide ranging:



* Air Pollution: Smog, Smoke and Pollen
* Extreme Heat: More Intense Hot Days and Heat Waves
* Infectious Diseases: Dengue Fever, West Nile Virus, and Lyme Disease
* Drought: Threats to Water and Food Security
* Flooding: Devastating Floods and Heavy Rains

    You can check out your state by following this link.
    Be it man-made or natural, I think there is general agreement that the planet's climate is changing. Now we can either adapt or try to stop the change, both huge tasks.
