It is measured by assessing the patterns of variation in temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, precipitation, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological variables in a given region over long periods of time.
Regional impacts of climate change (droughts, severe storms) What climate models predict: temperature rise, sea level rise, maxing out of carbon uptake by ecosystems, drought, severe storms, crop failures, loss of fresh water, impact on human health, extinction of species. GDP will decrease by 1-5% for each 7.2 degree F rise in temperature.
