Indicators of Climate Change in California

An introduction to the 2022 Indicators of Climate Change in California Report. The Indicators of Climate Change in California report documents observed changes in the state’s climate and its impacts in the state. Indicators are scientific measurements that track trends and conditions relating to climate change. Collectively, the indicators portray a statewide picture of how climate change has been impacting the environment and people of California. Through these indicators, the report tells the state’s climate change story, starting with the human influences on climate, or “drivers,” followed by the changes in climate Californians have been experiencing, and then their consequences on the physical environment, on plant and animal species, and on human health. https://oehha.ca.gov/climate-change/epic-2022
