Weather And Climate Impact On Minnesota

Climate is closely associated with the seasons, but do you know what causes the seasons? Log on to the website

For about the past twelve-thousand years, Wisconsin's climate has remained relatively stable. But the climate in Wisconsin has not always been a steady process. Wisconsin's change in climate is a process that is over two and a half million years in the works. Due to changes in the tilt of Earth's axis and changes in Earth's orbit, Wisconsin has had a variation of climates. The fluctuating climate has resulted in ice sheets forming, spreading, and melting.

In summary, climate and geography play a tremendous

being much more resistant to the cold weather in the north. Though we have those certain

I am going to tell what climate change has effect on the Midwest and how it is going to affect the temperature, precipitation in the future and human health, water resources, the great lakes, agricultural and ecosystem, and how it has increased rainfall and flooding and forest composition. More than 61 million people live in the Midwest and it resides in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Michigan. The temperature in the Midwest is going to increase more in the northern areas and in the southern areas there will be more number of days of 95 degrees and less number of days below 65 degrees and that could cause more energy uses for air conditioning. The precipitation in the future is going to have more heavy downpours in the winter and spring and it will cause more drier conditions in the summer in the southern areas.

With global warming, ecosystems will take a hit, as species will try to adapt to the changes around them. Species that cannot change their old habits will not survive due to survival of the fittest. Changed ecosystems could even lead to extinction of some kinds. This would upset the food chain, as the balance of nature completely flips upside-down. Mosquitoes can be a good example of how global warming effects North Dakota as well. With the perfect living conditions brought by climate change, mosquitoes have a longer lifespan and have more chances to spread diseases. Malaria and West Nile are just two of the many diseases easily spread. The number of people infected or sick with these diseases if multiplied even more since the mosquitoes have the perfect environment to grow in and expand (“Global Warming”). Even something as inconsequential as wildlife can be great affected by global warming in North

There is a big difference in weather when it comes being in a different part of the world. Finland is a place where in the summertime, the sun doesn’t even go down. A part of Finland is right under the Arctic Circle, which makes the sun seem awake for days at a time. Although in America the sun goes down every day, those days can be very short or very long. Finland’s longest season is winter and is the reason why it is always to an extend of being cold. Yearly weather is distributed in the US, as for summers warm and hot, and winters chilly and cold. Some parts of the US can stay in a certain range of heat or coldness but that’s usually around the coasts. In Finland the highest heat record was 37.2 degrees Celsius ( 99 degrees

Recently, the environment issues are becoming more and more serious. The increasing of greenhouse gas emission and pollutions lead to many environment problems related to climate change. The climate change impact our urban life in many aspects. As the biggest metropolitan area in US, New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA Metropolitan Statistical Area has a population about 19,831,858 by year 2012 (U.S. Department of Commerce, US Census Bureau, 2012) The population has been increased by 1.35% since 2010. The increase of population again increase the consuming of resources and increase the carbon dioxide of the statistical area which aggravate the global warming. At this moment, planners and government should take the impacts from climate change that will be critical concern to our area into consideration and applying a climate change management planning policies.

Over the years the droughts in North America have become worse. In 2012 80% of America was affected by very dry months and this is only by mid July. Climate change also has an effect on our health as humans. In 2012, at least 74 Americans were killed from extreme heat. This is nothing compared to 2011. During 2011 there were at least 206 people died from extreme heat.

According to Dr. Denning, “as the global climate changes, average temperatures will rise sharply. Because Colorado is so far inland, this effect will be stronger because large bodies of water help mitigate temperature swings and Colorado is far from our oceans or Great Lakes. Imagine the climate of Albuquerque as far north as Greeley.” Additionally, we must consider the agriculture industry is estimated to be worth around forty-one billion dollars in Colorado, which means climate change will have a drastic impact on food production. Colorado’s geographic location is problematic in itself, but the continuous temperature changes means longer growing seasons. Ultimately, the rising temperatures make plants consume more water and it reduces the annual snowpack, which creates a conundrum of issues. Similarly, we can assume a warmer Colorado will also mean a much drier Colorado, which will hurt agriculture on every level.

Unlike some other regions. And our seasons here in the Midwest are great because in the Winter we get snow days and we can stay up during Winter break and watch Christmas movies with our family, in the Spring baby animals are born, in the

As shown on the mean annual temperature map for Minnesota provided by University of Minnesota, the temperatures for Minnesota are varied for every part of the state. This means that the climate is not constant throughout Minnesota. In the area that Von Thunen was living at the time, which was Germany, this would have fit more perfectly for the agricultural areas had same climate. In Guns, Germs, and Steel, areas in a horizontal axis will have the same temperature and climate. Due to most of Europe being on the same horizontal degrees for the most part. Europe would mostly have the same temperature and

Weather can take a huge toll on crop and cattle. It can make them stress out. Which can affect the way the crops turn out and cattle growth or milking. Water levels, rainfall amount, hay or grain prices, and prices of livestock is major key. As a producer weather can make huge impact on my plans both long term and short term.

Many places on Earth have regular changes in the weather throughout the year. We call these the seasons. The seasons are affected by the amount of sunlight an area gets throughout the year. Many things contribute to the amount of sunlight that reaches different areas on the Earth. These factors affect the changing seasons: The most important factor is the angle that the sunlight hits the Earth’s surface throughout the year. Direct sunlight is warmer than sunlight hitting the Earth at an angle. The other factor is length of the day how long the sun shines on an area each day. Longer days get more sunshine. (Amsel 2005)

Women make up a shocking 70 percent of people living in poverty around the world. The gender imbalance of climate change is about more than just numbers, though.  During natural disasters and extreme storms — of which many are increasingly linked to our carbon-loaded atmosphere — women often lack the physical strength needed to pull themselves to high ground or to run for safe cover. If this physical barrier isn’t enough, women are usually responsible for children and relatives and in extreme conditions; they have the added burden of moving everyone out of harm’s way.  Furthermore, they face social, economic and political barriers that limit their coping capacity. Women and men in rural areas in developing countries are especially vulnerable when they are highly dependent on local natural resources for their livelihood. Those charged with the
