The Northwest faces poorer forest health (more forest fires), earlier snowmelt (lower stream flows) and raised sea levels (eroding coasts), according to Monday’s release of the Northwest Climate Assessment Report (NWCAR, 2013). Impacts might total some $14 billion dollars regionally.
Written by scientists coordinated by the Oregon State University’s Oregon Climate Change Research Institute, this report is the first regional climate assessment update since 1999. Produced as part of the U.S. National Climate Assessment; Washington and Oregon state-level reports were published in 2009 and 2010.
