Temperatures are rising, snow and rainfall <br />patterns are shifting, and more extreme climate events — like heavy rainstorms and <br />record high temperatures — are already happening. Many of these observed changes <br />are linked to the rising levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in our <br />atmosphere, caused by human activities. EPA partners with more than 40 data <br />contributors from various government agencies, academic institutions, and other <br />organizations to compile a key set of indicators related to the causes and effects of <br />climate change.' <br />11[tis report: sl[ioitidd provide yoitii� witl[i aiim eiirmm�irmnotii�s <br />collectioiim of data fiiir tii�se firm yoitiw classrmloan. <br />For a. free col.)y of ffie r,el)or, <br />col'.)y the [Ji .i.., t�ei.c w i.t:i your t�row er: <br />][ °i a ixe e .arinte :.....c2lay 2� t6:� y °!..: <br />�er]d. c� ll4 ���. 4 �� I��...EPA's ���llll1C1i'�t ��l1i'��ll� z4� 1.]C QJj c'��tors 14�i'��rn at <br />........ ..... ........ ........ ........ ........ <br />climateindicatorsa,epa. ov:. <br />Source: Climate Change Indicators Team <br />Climate Change Division <br />1J.S.
