      abstract = {The report summarizes the science and the impacts of  climate change on the United States, now and in the future.  It focuses on climate change impacts in different regions  of the U.S. and on various aspects of society and the  economy such as energy, water, agriculture, and health.  It's also a report written in plain language, with the goal  of better informing public and private decision making at  all levels.  In addition to discussing the impacts of  climate change in the U.S., the report also highlights the  choices we face in response to human-induced climate  change. It is clear that impacts in the United States are  already occurring and are projected to increase in the  future, particularly if the concentration of heat-trapping  greenhouse gases in the atmosphere continues to rise. So,  choices about how we manage greenhouse gas emissions will  have far-reaching consequences for climate change impacts.  Similarly, there are choices to be made about adaptation  strategies than can help to reduce or avoid some of the  undesirable impacts of climate change. This report provides  many of the scientific underpinnings for effective  decisions to be made--at the national and at the regional  level.},
