ERG Helps EPA Track Indicators of Climate Change

ERG recently helped EPA publish an online update to its Climate Change Indicators in the United States compilation, featuring new data for 28 indicators. ERG has supported this high-visibility project since 2008, developing indicators and publishing printed reports in 2010, 2012, and 2014. New 2015 data provide more evidence of the Earth's changing climate, including a widespread decrease in spring snowpack across the western United States, an increase in the length of the frost-free season in nearly every state, and a record low for maximum Arctic sea ice extent. Also new on the Web this year: interactive maps for selected indicators.
