Projected extreme temperatures under climate change are predicted to reduce average yields for several of the United States’ major crops. The extent of these regional changes in agricultural productivity and how they influence future cropping decisions is a central question for the risks of climate change for agriculture and food security.

We do have a climate crisis that needs to be addressed. Ultimately, to manage climate change, the world needs to stop emitting greenhouse gases from vehicles and power plants. That has a significant impact on safety for all road users. Electric vehicles powered from a clean grid are an essential step in the right direction.

However, while greenhouse gases cause warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere, some aerosols can have a cooling effect on the climate because the aerosol particles cause more of the sun’s light to be reflected away from the planet. In many cases, the strongest climate effects of aerosols are felt far from where the aerosols are emitted.
