How will Wisconsin be affected by climate change?
In Wisconsin, the changing climate will mean more frequent and longer heatwaves, as well as more frequent and intense storms, including destructive storms that lead to flooding or downed trees.18 mai 2023
This region will likely experience warmer and wetter winters, springs with heavy precipitation, and hotter summers with longer dry periods.
Risks to human health are expected to rise with warmer temperatures, reduced air quality, and increased allergens.
Where is the best place to live in Wisconsin for climate change?
The city with the lowest overall risk is Janesville.
For heat, Sheboygan has the lowest risk and Janesville has the highest risk.For precipitation, Green Bay has the lowest risk and Milwaukee has the highest risk.For drought, La Crosse has the lowest risk and Milwaukee has the highest risk.What are the solutions to climate change in the Midwest?
Midwest climate cities can achieve 100 percent renewable energy by using locally produced solar energy plus storage, purchasing clean renewable energy from third parties, and securing renewable energy credits from local solar and wind projects.
Rising Temperatures
Here’s the climate reality: Since the early 1900s, Wisconsin's average annual temperature has risen by about 2 degrees Fahrenheit. Without action to address the climate crisis, “historically unprecedented warming” is expected by the end of this century. When humans burn fossil fuels, we release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. Thes
Drought
Here’s the climate reality: Summer droughts are a natural part of Wisconsin’s climate. But these droughts are expected to become more intense as temperatures rise with climate change. Here’s a head scratcher: Precipitation is expected to increase across Wisconsin and the Great Lakes region over the next few decades, especially in the winter and spr
Heavy Precipitation and Flooding
Here’s the climate reality: While snowfall is expected to decline in Wisconsin, scientists expect the state to see an increase in overall precipitation — which could mean more frequent and more severe flooding. Wait, weren’t we just talking about drought? Though it might seem contradictory, climate change makes both floods and droughts more likely
Here’s What You Can Do
Here at Climate Reality, we believe in climate hope. So while that felt like a lot of bad news all at once, we want to make sure you know: We can, we must, and we willsolve the climate crisis (in Wisconsin and beyond). And the best news of all? The solutions to solve it are already available today. Get started fighting for a better tomorrow by down
